Flanked by bars, cafes and restaurants, this tree-lined plaza is a hugely popular hang-out, frequented by families, tourists and students. It's also the historic hub of Seville's gay scene. The square was originally laid out in the late 16th century and became a fashionable promenade during the city's 17th-century Golden Age.
The two Roman columns at its southern end are 2000-year-old originals, topped by statues of Hercules and Julius Caesar.
