Plaza Mayor, Renaissance square in central Valladolid, Spain
The Plaza Mayor features a rectangular layout with complete arcaded porches supported by granite pillars and columns around its perimeter.
Following the devastating fire of 1561, architect Francisco de Salamanca led the reconstruction project under the direct supervision of King Philip II.
The square hosts numerous seasonal events throughout the year, including concerts, theater performances, processions, and traditional celebrations.
The Plaza Mayor contains multiple shops and cafes under its arcades, while a public parking facility operates beneath the square.
This plaza established the first geometrically regular design with closed arcades in Spain, becoming the model for main squares across Spain and South America.
