Alonso de Fonseca Square

The openwork cresting of the magnificent church of Santa Maria Maggiore makes it the most attractive in Pontevedra. It beautifies the Plaza of Alonso de Fonseca, in which you can see one of its facades, the home to Cristo del Buen Viaje, who supposedly looks after Pontevedreses when they leave their city. In this square, there are also the homes of Fonseca and Méndez Núñez, although they have lost the impressive towers that the archbishop completed. Also, the stone cross that dominates the square is noteworthy.
