Zócalo of Puebla
Zócalo de Puebla
The heart of the old town, surrounded by the cathedral, city hall and arcades. Green shade, fountains and street performers make it a relaxed urban living room.
The square is officially called Constitution Square. The Archangel Michael Fountain stands in its center, and the arcades around it house cafés and restaurants where you can rest and try local snacks. Tourist sightseeing buses depart from here, and the city hall can be visited for free. The cathedral is most beautiful after dark, when it is floodlit. There are performances and markets on weekends. The square is the starting point for exploring the historic center. Security is generally good, but watch your belongings when it's crowded.
