The original military parade ground of Spanish colonial San Antonio, now City Hall Plaza and a pleasant open public space a block west of the Alamo. Surrounded by the 1891 Romanesque City Hall (a fine building in its own right), the old Spanish Governor's Palace, and the San Fernando Cathedral, this was the civic core of San Antonio for two centuries.
Worth a stroll for the architecture surrounding it and the historical marker about the original chili queens. The plaza feeds into Main Plaza, where San Fernando Cathedral stands; together the two squares preserve the layout of Spanish colonial San Antonio more clearly than almost any other city in the American West.
