Campus Martius: El corazón de Detroit
Empezamos nuestra aventura en Detroit justo en el corazón de todo: el parque Campus Martius. Conocido como el "punto de encuentro" de Detroit, este lugar tan animado ha unido a la gente desde 2004, cuando se rediseñó como la pieza central de la revitalización del centro.

El nombre "Campus Martius" significa "Campo de Marte" en latín, y se remonta a 1788, cuando el trazado original de Detroit ubicó este punto exacto como el centro oficial de la ciudad. De hecho, las calles principales salían de aquí como los radios de una rueda.

Hoy en día, el parque es mucho más que un dato histórico. Está lleno de vida todo el año: el verano trae conciertos al aire libre, food trucks e incluso una playa urbana de arena, mientras que el invierno lo transforma en un paraíso festivo para patinar sobre hielo bajo luces brillantes.

Rodeando el parque están varios de los edificios y negocios más importantes de Detroit, haciéndolo un gran lugar para relajarse y un símbolo de su renovación. Ya sea para ver gente pasar, comer algo o sentir la vibra del lugar, Campus Martius es el punto perfecto para empezar a explorar Detroit.

POI 2 Tour Image
Campus Martius: El corazón de Detroit
Miren a su derecha, ahí viene uno de los íconos más deslumbrantes de Detroit: el Guardian Building. Terminado en 1929, a este rascacielos de 40 pisos se le conoce como la «Catedral de las Finanzas», y en cuanto lo vean, van a entender por qué.

Diseñado por el arquitecto Wirt Rowland, el Guardian es un ejemplo perfecto del Art Deco, con sus formas geométricas audaces, coloridos azulejos y espacios interiores espectaculares. Su exterior brilla con un tono de ladrillo naranja, mientras que por dentro, encontrarán un vestíbulo impresionante, lleno de azulejos Pewabic y Rookwood, mosaicos y techos abovedados altísimos. Se siente más como entrar a una gran catedral que a un banco.

Cuando abrió sus puertas, el Guardian simbolizaba la economía en pleno auge de Detroit, impulsada por la industria automotriz. Hoy en día, sigue en pie como un orgulloso recordatorio de esa época dorada, siendo un punto de encuentro clave tanto para oficinas como para visitantes.
