El Batey

Butterflies of the Caribbean Mural

Butterflies of the Caribbean, commissioned by Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

 

 

The brilliant garden on West Susquehanna Avenue is unmistakably El Batey, meaning "a place of retreat". The garden encourages people to gather together and celebrate life. Neighbors chit-chat on brightly painted benches, putter around the petroglyphs, and admire the colorful "Butterflies of the Caribbean" mural by Salvador Gonzalez, Murals and Yoruba religious, painter from La Habana, Cuba.
