Plaza de los Leones - Antigua Carnicería

Around the Plaza de los Leones are several handsome buildings: the 16th Century Antigua Carnicería (butcher's shop), which in spite of its humble function has a gallery and a magnificent coat-of- arms of Charles V; the Casa del Pópulo, with an extraordinary Plateresque facade; the Puerta de Jaén; and the Arco de Villalar, a triumphal arch erected in 1521 to commemorate the repression of the Comunero rising.
