City Square

City Square : The Michelin guide review

This quiet pedestrian square is presided over by the statue of Álvaro de Bazán, hero of the battle of Lepanto in 1571, as seen by Mariano Benlliure. Around it are several interesting buildings: the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) built in 1617 by Gomez de Mora, the Lujan Tower, a rare example of 15C civil architecture where the King of France, François I, was imprisoned after the Battle of Pavia and the Cisneros House.
