Imagine, in the 1930s, this square held the monument to Maisonnave, but in a twist, the statue was moved to a nearby intersection-hopefully, nobody got lost during the move! Now, you’ll find the statue of Eugenio Barrejón, a former governor, not to mention three celebrity trees: a sprawling plane tree, a sturdy elm, and a giant araucaria that towers overhead. The square’s had two major makeovers, one disco era in 1977 and another in 2013, so what you see now is as modern as it is historic. Whether you’re here for history or pigeon surveillance, this plaza has stood the test of time.
