Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, Main square and pedestrian zone in Zaragoza, Spain
The Plaza del Pilar extends across a vast area in central Zaragoza, featuring two cathedrals, municipal buildings, fountains, and open gathering spaces.
The plaza's location served as a cemetery in the 13th century before transforming into a public square during the 16th century for community gatherings.
The square contains both the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and the Cathedral of Salvador, making it the only place in Spain with two cathedrals.
Visitors can access the square through Alfonso I and Don Jaime I streets, with multiple cafes, shops, and cultural institutions surrounding the area.
The Fountain of Hispanidad displays a water-based representation of the Latin American continent, complemented by three marble blocks symbolizing Columbus's ships.
