PLaZa De eLoY BuLLóN square This square was the main one before the Altozano square snatched its place. It was close to the old Town Hall, so it was also known as Town Hall square, Market square and Circle square. Its plan is as irregular as its competitor's, and its looks are also highly picturesque. This square has had many a relevant building over the centuries - the Court house, the Chaiplancy, the Pía Memoria or the Vinculo houses - and to this day it is surrounded by buildings from various origins and ages. For instance, those on the eastern side, which are from the 16th century, with their low arches, have nothing to do, in style or looks, with the houses on the opposite side, above the straight porticoes. Beside the semi-circular arches of the porticoes there are the remains, surrounded by a small grille, of a well that was in use until the 1940s and which provided the village with water until the arrival of running water to the houses. |
