The Plaza Mayor (English Main Plaza) is a large plaza located in the center of Salamanca, Spain used as a public square.[1] It was built in the traditional Spanish baroque style and is a popular gathering area.[2] It is lined by restaurants, ice cream parlors, tourist shops, jewelry stores and a pharmacy along its perimeter except in front of the city hall. It is considered the heart of Salamanca and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful plazas in Spain.[2][3][4] It is connected to the shopping area Calle del Toro from the northeast, Calle de Zamora from the north, the restaurants on Calle de Concejo from the northwest, Calle del Prior and the small Calle de la Caja de Ahorros from the west as well as Plaza del Corrillo from the south.
