Description
English: At this site is written the following:

"Es la antigua placita de La Recoleta. Debió su nombre a la presencia de la Iglesia de la Recoleta, cuya fachada neogótica persiste hasta nuestros días. A fines del siglo XIX la rodeaban unas columnas de cinco metros de altura que sostenían una ramada que albergaba un mercado con puestos de carne, papas, legumbres y otras especies como telas. "En el centro existía una pila en donde se proveían los aguadores (repartidores de agua) de la época. A la izquierda de la iglesia existió el 'Hospicio para Mujeres Vergonzantes'. Un albergue de señoras que las guerras civiles y la guerra con Chile empobrecieron. "El Hospicio, cuentan los cronistas republicanos, exhalaba un aroma y un ambiente de casa grande. El fin era que las señoras recogidas recordaran las suyas propias, aquellas que la desgracia les arrebató. "La versión moderna de la plazoleta es un obsequio de la colonia francesa en Lima. El motivo fue la conmemoración del centenario de la Independencia del Perú de la corona española. "Destaca el monumento en bronce que recuerda al padre Binthillac, fundador de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, y la placa conmemorativa al almirante francés Bergasse du Petit Thouars, por su participación en la defensa de Lima durante la ocupación chilena en 1880. "Se dice que cuando la toma de la ciudad por el ejército chileno ya era inminente, el valeroso contralmirante amenazó a los jefes chilenos de bombardearlos si la ocupación no se hacía de manera pacífica. Esta acertada intervención evitó que Lima fuera totalmente destruida. "La hermosa plaza es realzada por 24 bancas sobre un piso de lajas y la bella fachada neogótica de la iglesia."

Here's an interpreted computer translation:

"This is the placid relic of the Peaceful One. It owed its name to the presence of the Church of the Peaceful One, whose neo-Gothic facade persists to our day. At the end of the 19th century some five-meter-high columns surrounded it. They enclosed branches that harbored a market with positions of meat, potatoes, vegetables and other things such as fabrics. "In the center there was a storage place where the water carriers were provided (distributors of water) of the period. To the left of the church was the 'Orphanage for Distressed Women'. A shelter for women who were impoverished by the civil wars and the war with Chile . "The Orphanage, they count the republican columnists, exhaled a fragrance and an environment of large house. The end was that the women collected recalled its own, those that the misfortune snatched them. "The modern version of the small square is a gift of the French colony in Lima. The motive was the commemoration of the centennial of the Independence of Peru of the Spanish crown. It emphasizes the monument in bronze that recalls the father Binthillac, founder of the Papal Catholic University of Peru, and the commemorative plate to the French admiral Bergasse du Petit Thouars, by its participation in the defence of Lima during the Chilean occupation in 1880. "It is said that when takes it of the city by the Chilean army already was imminent, the valiant rear admiral threatened the Chilean leaders to bombard them if the occupation was not done in a peaceful way. This wise intervention avoided that Lima completely to be destroyed.

"The beautiful plaza is noted for the 24-hour banking on a stone-slab floor and the beautiful neo-Gothic facade of the church."
