Plaza Degetau, Colonial square in Ponce, Puerto Rico
Plaza Degetau spans 6,400 square meters and features wide mosaic-tiled sidewalks, flower gardens, monuments, and the Lions Fountain with four statues.
Established around 1670 during early Spanish settlement, the plaza was originally named Antigua Plaza Real before becoming Plaza Federico Degetau in the 20th century.
The square contains statues of composer Juan Morel Campos, Blind Justice with children, and Maternity depicting a seated mother with her offspring.
Located in the Historic Zone, the plaza connects to multiple landmarks including Ponce Cathedral, Parque de Bombas, and numerous banks and hotels.
The Lions Fountain, purchased at the 1939 New York World's Fair, includes a computerized lighting system that illuminates the water displays.
