About
A bustling historic square in the heart of Ciudad Rodrigo, Plaza Mayor is a beautifully preserved example of Spanish Renaissance architecture. Surrounded by plateresque facades, the plaza has been the civic heart of the town for centuries, hosting markets, festivals, and leisurely strolls. Its central statue of King Henry II and the adjacent 16th‑century Town Hall offer a vivid glimpse into the town’s medieval and Renaissance heritage.
