Plaza de San Sebastián
Once the western edge of the historical center, the quiet Plaza de San Sebastián is anchored by the 17th-century Church of San Sebastian, one of the city's oldest churches. In 1739, Frenchman Juan Seniergues, a member of La Condamine's geodesic expedition, was violently murdered in this plaza during a fiesta, apparently because of an affair with a local woman. The south side of the plaza is flanked by the Museo de Arte Moderno.
