Zócalo, Central plaza in Puebla, Mexico
The square plaza contains numerous sculptures, including the San Miguel Arcangel Fountain and four muses adorning each corner of the space.
The plaza, established in 1531, served as the foundation point for Puebla's grid layout and functioned as the main market until the late 18th century.
The surrounding buildings include the City Hall, Cathedral, and Casa de los Muñecos, forming the religious and administrative center of Puebla.
The streets in Puebla follow a numbering system that originates from the northwest corner of the plaza, making navigation through the city straightforward.
The plaza hosted bullfighting events between 1566 and 1722, and featured a central fountain that provided drinking water for the colonial settlement.
