Corredera Square

This is the only rectangular main square in Andalusia, as well as the Plaza Mayor of Madrid and Salamanca. It takes the place where, one day, the amphitheatre was built, suffering several changes through time.

We can find elements of the Andalusian architecture in this semi- regular square.
It has its entrance through the Arco Alto (High Arch) and Arco Bajo (Low Arch). Under Arab control, it could perfectly be a place for commercial exchanges, because of its location, between the Ajerquía and the Arab Medina.

In the XVII Century bullfights were celebrated here. The Plaza de la Corredera was always a key point for commercial exchange until the XX Century.
