Plaza del Príncipe, Central square in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

The Plaza del Príncipe features ornamental statues from Genoa representing Spring and Summer, surrounded by thick-trunked laurel trees.

Originally part of a Franciscan garden, the square was designed by architect Manuel de Oraá y Arcocha in 1857 and opened to the public in 1860.

The plaza displays a bronze sculpture group titled Courage, created by Hanneke Beaumont in 1995, depicting four human figures in contemplative poses.

The square connects to main streets Villalba Hervás, Valentín Sanz, Ruiz de Padrón, and José Murphy, making it accessible from different parts of the city.

Several laurel trees in the plaza were transported from Cuba and planted during its inauguration on October 29, 1860.
