Plaça de la Mare de Déu, Principal square in La Seu, Valencia, Spain.

The square contains a central bronze fountain depicting the Turia River surrounded by eight female figures representing the primary irrigation canals of Valencia.

The location of Plaza de la Virgen marks the ancient Roman forum of Valentia, positioned at the intersection of the cardo and decumanus maximus.

Every Thursday, the Water Court meets in front of the Cathedral's Apostles Gate to resolve irrigation disputes among local farmers.

The pedestrian square connects three major structures: the Cathedral of Valencia, the Basilica of Our Lady, and the Palace of the Generalitat.

During Las Fallas festival in March, thousands of participants bring flowers to create a 15-meter tall mantle for the Virgin's image.
