Plaza de Zorrilla, Central square in Valladolid, Spain.

Plaza de Zorrilla connects major streets of Valladolid, with the Academy of Cavalry and Casa Mantilla building framing its perimeter.

The square, formerly known as Puerta del Campo, hosted military exhibitions and events during the Middle Ages at the southern gate of the city.

A statue commemorates José Zorrilla, a renowned Spanish romantic poet from Valladolid, after whom the square received its current name in 1893.

The plaza features a three-level underground parking facility, elevators for pedestrian access, and direct entry to Campo Grande park.

The modern cybernetic fountain in the square contains automated water displays and lighting systems across a 1000-cubic-meter pond.
