Description

It was the main square of the city during the 16th and 17th centuries, and the heart of the city from the low Middle Ages. It is thought that there was a mosque in the Muslim era that was converted to Christian worship, following the taking of the city by Fernando III. In this case, the Sahara or courtyard of Abluciones would generate the current Plaza de Santa María and its minaret the Torre del Clock. Already in the 15th century it was considered the first public space of the city and evidence of this is the fact that the Cabildo decided to build his house in it.
