Coamo barrio-pueblo is a barrio and the administrative center (seat) of Coamo, a municipality of Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 6,685.[1][4][5][6]
Due to its historical value, the historic downtown district (pueblo) of Coamo was added to the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones (Spanish: Registro Nacional de Sitios y Zonas Históricas) on July 19, 1995.[7]
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.[8][9]
