Main Square sights in Spain

1. A Map

   Plaza de Zocodover

   • Toledo, Spain
   • Sights › Main square

   This lively square is flanked by cafes that are prime places for people-watching.

   From 1465 until the 1960s Zocodover was the scene of the city's Tuesday market and successor to the Arab souq ad-dawab (livestock market), hence the name. It was also here that toledanos for centuries enjoyed their bullfights or, morbidly, gathered to witness public burnings at the stake carried out by the Inquisition.

   The southern flank dates from the 17th century – the McDonald's certainly does not.
