Huamanga Archos, Colonial plaza in Ayacucho, Peru.

The main plaza contains a monument to Antonio José de Sucre and features stone arches with red clay roofs on all four sides.

The plaza dates from 1540 when Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro established it as the central hub of the newly founded city.

The Cathedral of Ayacucho and Municipal Palace border the plaza, representing the religious and administrative centers of the colonial period.

Visitors can access the plaza through Cuzco Avenue, Portal Constitución, Portal Independencia, and Portal Municipalidad, with two water fountains on east and west sides.

The plaza stands as the single plaza in Peru that maintains complete portals with columns and stone arches across all four perimeters.
