Plaza de La Glorieta

The Plaza de la Glorieta is one of if not the most important places in Elche. Located in the city center, this iconic square is a part of history of the people of Elche. Since its creation in the late 18th century, the square has experienced numerous renovations, the last taking place in the late 1990's.

La Glorieta is also a popular point of celebration among supporters of the Elche football team. The last great success (in 1999 after earning a spot in the 2nd Division), brought together more than 20,000 fans in the square and adjacent streets. The victories of the Spanish team at the World Cup also filled La Glorieta with revelers.
