This square, like most of them, aims to offer the walker a dimension of spaciousness and at the same time of rest, where they can sit and enjoy it.

The statue of Hercules with the lions and under the flag of Andalusia symbolizes power and strength.

It is closely linked to the coat of arms of Andalusia, which also shows Hercules with the lions and bears the inscription: “Andalucía por sí, para España y la humanidad -Andalusia for itself, for Spain and for humanity.
