Plaza de la Constitución

Description:

• This is the square with most tradition and one of the most archetypal in the city. It's located at an intersection of four streets, which once housed the Ayuntamiento (City Council), the Prison, the Town Hall and the "Carnicerias" building at different points in time.It has also hosted popular festivals, such as bullfights, religious ceremonies, and even a number of executions by firing squad during times of war. Its current look is the result of 19th century renovations, and the Adrián Risueño fountain is right in the middle.
