San Jacinto Plaza, Public plaza in downtown El Paso, Texas
San Jacinto Plaza features a central fountain with a sculpture of three alligators, surrounded by chess tables and green landscaping.
The plaza, established in 1881 as a town square, contained a pond with live alligators from the 1880s until their removal in 1974.
The space regularly hosts markets, performances, and community gatherings that represent the diverse traditions of the El Paso region.
