It receives this name from the market that was held there. In the 19th century, the light factory was installed in this square, making Pontevedra one of the first Spanish cities to have this service. The buildings that surround it stand out for their arcades with old typical taverns with terraces.

The old town is exactly as you'd imagine. Small streets, old historic buildings. Pontevedra is a lively city with many attractions.
