The Plaza de la Villa, of medieval origin with Renaissance features, is a large square, in the style of Castilian squares, with an irregular layout, partially porticoed, and framed by 16th-century buildings, including the town hall. It is the vital center of the town and features the 16th-century Renaissance town hall, the Casa de las Buhardillas (House of the Attics), the 17th-century Comendadores Palace, and the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, declared a Site of Cultural Interest. It is a church built between the 16th and 17th centuries.
The square has had various names, including Plaza Mayor, Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square), Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square), Plaza de la Concordia (Concord Square), and, finally, Plaza de la Villa (Town Square). As the nerve center and administrative center, it has had countless uses, from a market to a fairground, and even an improvised bullring until the current one was built in 1915.
