Om
Hurtige fakta: Brightly colored colonial buildings frame the main square, originally designed as a Spanish military parade ground. The central fountain, made from black volcanic stone, quietly splits the plaza into four distinctive sections.
Højdepunkter: The square’s perimeter features 16 arched porticos, each with shops selling everything from alpaca wool to local spices, combining commerce and culture seamlessly. Native plants and carefully maintained gardens create a surprising oasis, inviting visitors to linger on benches beneath oversized eucalyptus trees.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone pathways.
- Visit the southwestern portico for the best selection of handmade textiles.
- Avoid midday visits if sensitive to crowds and street noise.
- Bring a camera early in the day for soft light on colorful façades.
