The record

Three fragments in a square named for Berlin at the end of Avenida Las Américas.

The Plaza Berlín is at the southern end of that avenue. As in Madrid and Seoul, the square carries Berlin's name and the fragments explain why — the naming and the object arrive as a pair.

A 2019 BBC Mundo report, republished in El Universal, dates the plaza's three fragments to 1995.
