Major Square of Zamora

True to its geographical location, the Plaza Mayor in Zamora is a traditional Spanish square, paved, and surrounded by low-rise buildings with arcades. It is located in the historical center and is pedestrianized. Three important buildings sit in the square - The Town Hall (or House of Panaderas), the Old Town Hall (police headquarters), and the Church of San Juan Bautista (or New Gate). Under the square, part of the city walls have been buried. Also in the square are a couple of sculptures, one of them near the front of the church, called "The Merlú" and the other in front of the side wall of
