The main square of Córdoba has been the civic heart of the city since its founding in the sixteenth century and faces the cathedral and former town hall. Laid out with formal gardens, palms and paths, it centres on an equestrian monument to José de San Martín. Surrounded by colonial and early republican buildings, the plaza remains a gathering place for residents and a starting point for exploring the historic core. Benches beneath shade trees make it a busy meeting spot throughout the day.
