Major Square

The square has the form of an irregular quadrilateral, with four facades of three floors, all of them of different length. In the centre of the façade, the one oriented to the North, we can find the city council over which is built a belfry with three bells and four allegoric sculptures of Agriculture, Industry, Music and Poetry, carried out by the architect Andrés García Quiñones, over five major arches, and crowned with the belfry.

It has 88 round arches built over strong pillars and finished off by a balustrade decorated with medallions with distinguished characters of Spanish History. Among them we should highlight Carlos I, Cervantes, Alfonso XI, Fernando VI or Santa Teresa. The ground floors are occupied by restaurants, bars and shops.
