It is a really lovely square, and the main one in the city, surrounded by important buildings as the Inquisition Palace, with its magnificent front in stone, also the "Banco de la República" and the Museum of the Gold. Trees with centuries of age, protecting shadows, fountains with their lights during the evening, and people getting together to play chess at the old wooden tables. Right in the middle there is a statue, monument to Simon Bolivar, the liberator.
