Grand Army Plaza

Grand Army Plaza 5th Ave. bet. 58 & 60th Street Located southeast of Central Park's main entrance, the Plaza takes its name from the Grand Army of the Potomac, the Union Army in the American Civil War. The bronze stature of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman that stands at the northern half of the plaza is considered among the most distinguished equestrian groupings in Western art. The Pulitzer Fountain with its graceful bronze figure of Pomona, the goddess of abundance, occupies the southern half of the plaza. グランド・アーミー・プラザ / Grand Army Plaza 5th Ave. bet. 58 & 60th Street 南東にあるセントラルパークへのメイン入り口に位置し、四季の花々が囲む広場の中央には南北戦争の英雄シャーマン将軍(General William Tecumseh Sherman)の銅像が立つ。この銅像は1900年のパリ博覧会でグランプリを獲得した世界で最も優れた騎馬銅像のひとつ。59th Streetを挟んで南にある果実の神(Pomona)が立つピュ-リッツァー記念噴水(Pulitzer Memorial Fountain)とともに人々の待ち合わせ場所としても人気がある。
