Plaza de la Concordia

Plaza de la Concordia is a rectangular public square at the heart of Cholula with a fountain and monuments occupying its center. The space is lined by colonial buildings and contemporary shops that define the town's character.

The square was established as an administrative center during the colonial period and has maintained this role ever since. Its layout and use reflect continuity in urban planning from the 16th century to today.

Markets and celebrations draw locals who gather here for shopping and holidays, creating daily meeting points across generations. The space reflects how people in Cholula mix commerce with social time in their community.

The square is easily accessible from multiple street entrances and walkable from most parts of town. Surrounding streets have restaurants, cafes, and shops for visitors to find food and supplies.

The fountain uses a centuries-old water system from colonial times that still operates today. This engineering shows how people centuries ago managed water flow through the city.
