Surrounding the plaza are other buildings from the city's golden age, such as the Correos (the main post office). In the center of the plaza, a fountain is surrounded by flower stalls with all the colors, sizes, varieties imagineable. This is a good starting point from which to visit Valencia's old quarter or today's most fashionable shops. « less

Very nice buildings, a pool and some flower shops. If you like to eat something, prefer Plaza Redonda which is 200-300 meters away. More

Our hotel overlooked this plaza so we walked it a couple of times each day. The flower stalls provide colour and the plaza is a central meeting point in front of the City Hall so there were a few protest rallies while we were there. The fountain is an attractive feature. More

It's a lovely wedge shaped area surrounded by wonderful buildings with lots of character and charm. And there's a very nice fountain on the northern end. You'll be able to buy numerous postcards of it. We were just... More
