Plaza Mayor of Cuenca
Plaza Mayor
An irregularly shaped square in the heart of the Old Town, surrounded by the cathedral, colourful houses, and the arches of the town hall. It is lined with restaurant terraces.
The square is irregular in shape. At its southern end stand the three arches of the 18th-century Baroque town hall. The cathedral sits on the north side, and yellow, red, and blue houses line the sides. This is the liveliest part of the Old Town. Sit on a terrace and try local dishes such as ajoarriero (salt cod and potato soup), Manchego-style stew, and morellón, a sweet cherry liqueur. From the New Town, bus lines 1 and 2 climb up to the square.
