The Plaza Mayor of Plasencia is the nerve center of the city, in the beginning it even functioned as a Bullring, like many other town squares in Spain. In this sense, the 'Miracle of the Bull of Plasencia' appears in the Cantigas of Alfonso He interceded so that nothing would happen to him.

The Plaza Mayor, is a square with arcades around the edge and is located in the heart of the old town of Plasencia, dominating the square, the Town Hall in the main tower of the building, known to all as Piacenza, the grandfather of Mayorga, which acts as the clock tower that rings the bells every half hour. This building dates back to the 16th century and has been restored several times over the years, it is a transitional style from Gothic to Renaissance.
On one side of the Town Hall is the old prison building built in the 17th century with a masonry façade and a coat of arms of King Philip IV.
