About
حقائق سريعة: Underfoot, patterned stone and the spray of fountains create a cooling mist that mixes with the scent of nearby coffee carts, giving the plaza a lively, tactile charm even on hot afternoons. Architectural fans prize the mix of ornate judicial façades and art-deco detailing, and photographers gather at dusk to catch the golden light on sculpted stone.
النقاط البارزة: At sunset the square's honey-colored Art Deco facades glow and a shallow fountain throws thin silver ribbons of water across the paving, the light catching on pigeons' wings as they hop between the stone benches. Every Friday afternoon a ring of older men gathers with folding tables and card decks to play rummy while sipping mint tea from small glasses, a social ritual many say dates back to the 1950s and is as much about gossip as the game.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, surfaces are paved and sun exposure can be strong in summer.
- Position yourself across from the main fountain for framed shots of the colonial façades at golden hour.
- Avoid midday heat on summer days by coming early or late, weekdays are calmer for photos.
- Skip paid tours for the square itself, a short self-guided walk gives a clear sense of the architecture and daily life.
