Plaza Las Delicias
The core square of old Ponce, surrounded by the cathedral, the old fire station, and the lion fountain. It is the starting point for walking tours.
Plaza Las Delicias is the heart of Ponce's historic district, made up of Plaza Degetau and Plaza Muñoz Rivera. The central lion fountain, neatly trimmed Indian laurel trees, and the surrounding Creole-style buildings create the classic image of the 'Pearl of the South'. Around the square are the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the old fire station with its red and black stripes, the city hall, and cafés and ice cream shops (King's Cream is famous). It is open all day, free of charge, and in the evening locals stroll here to cool off. Carnival in February and the Christmas season bring the most lively decorations. The surrounding old town has many museums within walking distance.
