Plaza de la Asunción
This beautiful square is a lovely place to relax in golden hour light surrounded by architecture spanning six centuries. The oldest building is the Iglesia de San Dionisio, a plain-fronted Gothic-Mudéjar church from the 15th century with a single round window and arched entrance. On the south side is the Antiguo Ayuntamiento, the old town hall, built in Italian Renaissance style with a porticoed gallery on the left and Corinthian columns and decorative friezes on the right. Stately mansions from the 19th century and a central contemporary sculpture representing the Assumption complete the scene. Although the whole plaza has been beautifully restored, it still feels refreshingly underexploited, with just one lucky bar on the square.
