Plaza del Coso, Medieval plaza in Peñafiel, Spain

The Plaza del Coso spans 3,500 square meters and features 48 buildings with wooden balconies adorned with arabesque decorations from the 18th century.

Since medieval times, this square has been a central location for trade, tournaments, and community gatherings, documented extensively through local historical records.

The plaza transforms into a bullring during the Festival of San Roque in August and hosts the Descent of the Angel Festival on Resurrection Sunday.

Property owners maintain individual rental rights for their balconies during bullfighting events, offering spectators premium views of the performances in the arena.

The square differs from typical Spanish plazas as it lacks religious buildings and serves exclusively as an event space rather than a regular thoroughfare.
