Plaza de Armas de Castro
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
The best time is mid-morning, when the sun highlights the cathedral facade and the market is still full of goods. The warmest weather is from December to March, when the square's terraces become the main gathering space for people.
Tips anggaran
The square and cathedral can be visited for free, without any ticket. You can bargain at the market, especially when buying several identical souvenirs, and food a couple of blocks away from the square costs about a third less.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Di dekat alun-alun berdiri katedral kayu berwarna merah kekuningan, salah satu dari 16 gereja kayu yang dilindungi UNESCO di kawasan ini. Dari tepi alun-alun terlihat lebih dari 300 rumah yang dibangun di atas tiang di teluk, yang disebut palafit.
Sorotan: Dinding katedral tersusun dari ribuan serpihan kayu, dan udara lembap memaksa pengecatan ulang secara berkala, sehingga gereja ini lebih sering berganti warna dibandingkan banyak gereja lainnya. Dari tangga di tepi alun-alun terlihat seluruh kawasan palafit, yang hanya dalam beberapa jam saat surut berubah menjadi pemandangan yang sama sekali berbeda.
Tips orang dalam
- Head to the square in the morning, before cruise ship visitors arrive, and it will be almost empty.
- Take photos of the stilt houses from the steps at the edge of the square; the best angle is at their lower part.
- Don't forget a waterproof jacket, rain can catch you even in midsummer.
- Try the kurales and mussel dishes at the market stalls, where they are the freshest and cheapest.
