Arroyo barrio-pueblo is a barrio and the administrative center (seat) of Arroyo, a municipality of Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 1,206.[4][5][1]

As was customary in Spain, in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a barrio called pueblo which contains a central plaza, the municipal buildings (city hall), and a Catholic church. Fiestas patronales (patron saint festivals) are held in the central plaza every year.[6][7] The downtown area (pueblo) of Arroyo was added to the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 1997.[8]
