Description

Love this square.. In the 13th, 14th century it was a place with houses of the Roman Cahtlic nuns, after the war against spain the Cathlic's were driven out of the country (or went underground) and between 1650's and 1930's this was were the vegetables and flowers were sold. Since the 1980's it is a popular place for those who want to drink something. In summer outside... in winter inside in the many cafes and bars Some of the buildings are 17th century, others are late 1990's (when a fire destroyed some old houses)
