Dominated by the Romanesque apses of the church where this Virgin is venerated, this square is one of the most original and beautiful squares in old León and one of the most attractive and picturesque at night.

This square has a cobblestone pavement characteristic of medieval León and is known for its central fountain, which represents the confluence of the Bernesga and Torío rivers. The fountain is adorned with a column and two children pouring water into a bowl.
Historically, the Plaza del Grano housed markets where grain and other agricultural products were sold. It has also been the scene of folkloric events and medieval markets during the San Froilán festivities.
