Plaza Mayor (main square) is the heart of this World Heritage Site city and a meeting place for locals.
Plaza Mayor is perhaps the most beautiful in all of Spain. It boasts 88 half-moon arches adorned with medallions of illustrious figures in Spanish history. In the east wing are the Spanish kings, from Alfonso IX to Carlos III. In the Ayuntamiento (City Hall) wing are such saints as Santa Teresa de Jesús and Francisco de Vitoria. On the southern side are the discoverers and conquistadors, while the remaining areas feature Spanish wise men.
