This charming square is considered the social and political heart of Ronda. Surrounded by cozy cafés and restaurants, it's a popular meeting place for both locals and visitors. The main attraction is the neoclassical Iglesia del Socorro and the statue of Hercules with two lions, the symbol of Andalusia. The Andalusian flag was first raised in this square in 1918, giving it historical significance.
