Plaza Mayor de Chinchón, Medieval plaza and bullring in Chinchón, Spain.
The Plaza Mayor features 234 wooden balconies across three-story buildings arranged in an almost circular pattern around the central square.
Dating from the 15th century, this plaza served as a marketplace, public gathering space, and venue for royal celebrations under Spanish monarchs.
The square transforms into an arena during summer bullfighting events and hosts the annual Easter Passion Play performances.
Restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating line the plaza's perimeter, offering local specialties including Chinchón's renowned anise liqueur.
The plaza's buildings contain adjustable wooden balconies that convert into spectator boxes when the square becomes a bullring.
