Plaza Mayor in Trinidad

Although Plaza Mayor means Main Square, it is actually a small and charming little square whose gardens sit on a raised platform.

The four small gardens of the little square in Trinidad have their perimeter surrounded by a typical wrought-iron fence.

Cobblestone streets surround the square, separating it from the surrounding buildings.

Wrought-iron pillars, statues of English greyhounds and columns with beautiful terracotta decorations make the square unique.

In front of the square you will find the Iglesia Parroquial de la Santissima Trinidad, on whose steps musicians gather during the cooler hours of the day.

Near the square you will find the most beautiful restaurants in the city, several sewing workshops where you can buy tablecloths hand-embroidered by local women (an excellent souvenir), shops selling

local crafts, galleries and museums.
