Description
This small traditional square is part of the historic quarter and is also known as the Plaza Chica (Little Square). The Teatro Nacional Sucre can be found here, one of the country's most important cultural venues. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the city slaughterhouse operated on one side of this square. At the end of the 18th century the square served as a bullring. The money collected from the sale of tickets to the bullfights was used to build the park La Alameda. The square has a small fountain in the middle and is a busy hub, crossed daily by thousands of pedestrians.
