This square, in front of the cathedral, has some interesting buildings and on the northern side is the bishop's palace, while at the top is the old Town Hall, now used for ceremonial. Of interest also are the dog statues that were formerly on a bridge that disappeared when the "barranco" or river bed was culverted 40 years ago. The... More

What I like the most in Plaza Santa Ana is the colonial atmosphere, so different from everything you can find in continental Spain. And the best time to taste it is a bit after the sunset, when it's already dark but there is still plenty of people in the streets. The Cathedral and the Town Hall are the two main... More

The Plaza de Santa Ana is a beautiful square that has the Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, the old City Hall, and several beautiful buildings. What called our attention were sculptures of 8 dogs near the Cathedral. The sculptor was Alfred Jacquemart, who was French, and they were put in the plaza in 1895. Children love to play with the dogs. More
