Plaza del Potro, Renaissance plaza with historical fountain in Ajerquía, Spain
The rectangular Plaza del Potro slopes toward the Guadalquivir River, featuring an octagonal fountain with a prancing colt statue from 1577.
The plaza functioned as a primary marketplace for horse trading during the 16th century, with the Posada del Potro inn serving as a gathering point.
The former Franciscan hospital buildings now house both the Museum of Fine Arts and the Julio Romero de Torres Museum, displaying regional artwork collections.
The pedestrian zone connects directly to Cardenal González Street, providing walking access from the Mosque-Cathedral through medieval neighborhoods.
Miguel de Cervantes referenced this plaza in Don Quixote, and a commemorative tile on the Museum of Fine Arts marks his connection to the area.
