Plaza Ferdinand VII

Paths, trees and commemorative features provide an outdoor setting closely connected with the city’s changing colonial and American history.

Check current city notices for access and organized events, and use public crossings around the surrounding streets. The photograph shows an earlier view of the square and its central monument rather than a current ceremony or the latest streetscape. Nearby museums and historic buildings are separate visitor destinations with their own opening arrangements.
