Plaza de los Coches

Walking into El Centro through the Torre del Reloj, you must try to imagine this busy plaza that now bustles with shops and vendors as it was 300 years ago. Back in the day, Plaza de los Coches was the center for transportation but it was also where slaves were bartered and sold. It is appropriate now to have a statue of Pedro de Heredia, the city’s founder, where the slave market used to be. The large buildings with colonial arches and balconies that surround this plaza are some of the oldest in the city.
