Plaza de San Francisco, Seville

The Ayuntamiento (City Hall), known as Casa consistorial de Sevilla, built in the 16th century, runs along the entire western side of the square.

Both plazas are connected to the Avenida de la Constitución.

By the time Seville was reconquered by the Crown of Castile in 1248, a square was already present in this space.

[1] A fish market used to be present in the west side, before the City Hall was built in the 16th century.

Part of the hithertho unlocated Roman walls of Romula Hispalis (3rd century AD) were discovered in the plaza in 2021 during the building works of a hotel.
