Plaza Mayor

Plaza Mayor in Medinaceli, an ancient and historic town in the province of Soria, in Castile and Leon, Spain.

The partly colonnaded Plaza Mayor is a lovely centrepiece to the village and one of Castilla y León's prettiest village squares. The oldest remaining building is the 16th-century Alhónidga, which is the only building on the square with two-storey colonnades.
