Faces of Brooklyn, New York

This is one of the faces of the area where João is now serving a mission, much of USA history behind this place and a bit of taste of European architecture.

Grand Army Plaza in New York is a large oval plaza that forms the main entrance to Prospect Park. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1867.

Originally known as Prospect Park Plaza, but renamed in 1926, it is perhaps best known for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch, Brooklyn’s version of the Arc de Triomphe.
