Just like the title says, it is a stunning square. Well worth the visit! We passed it quickly so I don't know f there is something else to do there
wonderful area for family's to gather get some thing to eat and spend time together with food and drink. lovely monument to Maria Pita In the middle and some fantastic old architecture buildings around.
Impressive view of town hall with surrounding buildings especially at night. Just pleasant to stand and admire the heart of the town
The place is very clean and beautiful. During Summer there are a lot of cultural attractions as concerts and folkloric performances.
On our visit they had a medieval market set up in adjacent old town streets. In the square they had set up a temporary circular arena with jousting which was a spectacle.
i went to a wedding here and it really was the perfect location. its easy to find and to get to either by foot or taxi. the building was amazing inside and out. i took so many photos it really is a place to go to if ur in the city of a coruna
A large square with beautiful buildings including city hall, arcades, several restaurants. Certainly worth a stroll.
Arriving at La Coruña, you will be immediately surprised by the beauty of its "Plaza Mayor", here named "Plaza de María Pita", honoring the famous Spanish heroine María Mayor Fernández de Cámara y Pita (or simply "María Pita"), who defended La Coruña, in 1589, against the "English Armada" commanded by the also famous pirate (or hero, depending on your point of view), the legendary Sir Francis Drake. It is history and really amazing! This monumental Square may give you the impression of entering into a Royal Court, surrounded by terraced buildings with small squared glass windows: the "galerias", another symbol of this beautiful town also known as the "Cristal City". At the middle of the Square, the statue of our host heroine. The outstanding building of the Town Hall will catch your eyes. The Square also offers a view of the small and elegant baroque Church of St. George, built in the 18th century, with two bell towers and just outside "Plaza de María Pita". Many bars and restaurants within the Square limits offer the traditional Spanish "tapas" and the famous and praised white wine - the "Albariño", so typical of Galicia. Enjoy!
This is a beautiful square in the centre of the town. It has many restaurants and cafes as do the surrounding streets. This a a not much visited town in the north of Spain. It in an area that has a similar climate to the south of England but is worth a visit if total sunshine is not what you a looking for.
This is named after the heroine who rallied the townspeople against the invading English. It features ornately decorated facades, including the town hall as well as many bars and restaurants.
