Previously known as Plaza de la Villa, it was the central place of the social life of Villafranca due to its proximity to the Town Hall, seat of civil power. Here, before anywhere else in the town, the true news arrived. From here came executive orders to collect taxes, provide care for the poor, attend to epidemics, and celebrate banquets at major festivals. Here the general provisions were notified with the crier.

Located at the intersection of the roads from Herencia with that from Toledo to Cartagena in the South, on its eastern side, stood the large inn house that housed passing foreigners. To the north, it presides over the Town Hall building that housed, in addition to the Council's offices, the schools and a warehouse for the warehouse. It still proudly displays the old Mayor's shield.

The Town Hall bordered to the North, with the Charity Hospital and poor passers-by. This housed a small hermitage of Our Lady of the Assumption.
