Plaza de la Corredera, Porticoed square in San Pedro district, Córdoba, Spain

The rectangular Plaza de la Corredera features three-story buildings with continuous arcades supported by stone columns along its perimeter points.

Construction of the square began in 1683 under architect Antonio Ramós Valdés, commissioned by administrator Francisco Ronquillo Briceño for public gatherings.

The plaza maintains its role as a central marketplace, with the Mercado Sánchez Peña continuing to serve local residents since the 19th century.

Located in central Córdoba, the square contains numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops within its arcaded buildings, operating throughout the day.

Archaeological excavations beneath the plaza revealed Roman mosaics, indicating the presence of an ancient circus at this location.
