Plaza Mayor de Ocaña, Neoclassical Plaza Mayor in Ocaña, Spain.

The Plaza Mayor features 18 arches on its longer sides and 17 arches on its shorter sides, forming a rectangular space of 56 by 54 meters.

Construction of the plaza began in 1782 under architect Francisco Sánchez de Madrid, with three of its four facades completed by 1791 during Charles III's reign.

The square serves as the central gathering point for community events, with the Town Hall's main facade displaying the official coat of arms.

The plaza contains multiple covered walkways supported by sturdy stone pillars from Colmenar, providing shelter during various weather conditions.

French General Soult bombarded the western facade of the town hall during the Peninsular War, leaving a mark on this architectural monument.
