The Plaza Mayor is located right at the heart of the city of Ourense, very close to the Cathedral. The Plaza is rectangular in shape and is sloped on one side which makes it quite exceptional among other main squares in Spain. On the south end is located the Town hall which was constructed at the end of 19th century which was the house of bishop once. It still has the old balconies, low portico, classicist façade and the weapons from that time. The shops there have arcades to protect people from the sun. The Plaza is surrounded by old and antique buildings on all sides and has been the centre of attraction in Ourense for various kinds of festival celebrations, fares and fiestas.
