1 review of Fairs Monument

A fascinating site

At one end of the Plaza Mayor, across from the church of San Antolin, is this monument, which was erected in memory of the famous fairs that were held in Medina during the Middle Ages.

The memorial is very simple (a slab of stone on which are erected two pillars of granite, surrounded by thick iron chains), but there is a curious meaning behind it: it was the place intended for the bankers and money changers of the area to gather in order to avoid being hit by the transit of carriages and horses.
