Plaza Mayor, Main square in historic Segovia, Spain

The Plaza Mayor features expansive colonnaded walkways surrounding a central open space, with the town hall and Juan Bravo Theatre along its perimeter.

During the 17th century, the Plaza Mayor evolved from Calle de la Cinteria, where merchants conducted trade and established the economic center of Segovia.

The square hosts traditional festivals, markets, and performances throughout the year, maintaining its role as the social center of the community.

Numerous restaurants under the arcades offer regional dishes, while the tourist information office provides maps and guidance for exploring the city.

The Plaza Mayor connects directly to the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria, creating an architectural ensemble that represents different periods of Spanish design.
