Plaza (pron.:
/ˈplɑːzə/; Castilian Spanish:
[ˈplaθa] or Latin American Spanish:
[ˈplasa]) is a
Spanish word related to "field" which describes an open urban
public space, such as a
city square.[SUP]
[1][/SUP] All through Spanish America and the Spanish East Indies, the
plaza mayor of each center of administration held three closely related institutions: the
cathedral, the
cabildo or administrative center, which might be incorporated in a wing of a governor's
palace, and the
audiencia or law court. The plaza might be large enough to serve as a military parade ground. At times of crisis or
fiesta, it was the space where a large crowd might gather. Like the Italian
piazza, the plaza remains a center of community life that is only equaled by the market-place.
Most colonial cities in
Spanish America and the
Philippines were planned around a square
plaza de armas, where troops could be mustered, as the name implies, surrounded by the governor's palace and the main church.
A plaza de toros is a bullring.
