Pátzcuaro - Plaza Principal

Both the Calle Itturbide and the Calle Zaragoza lead to the Plaza Principal (Plaza Vasco de Quiroga, Plaza Grande), one of the finest and largest of Mexico's squares. The Palacio Municipal (Town Hall), a former 18th c. palace, stands on the right. The Casa del Gigante (House of the Giants), with its beautiful doorway and decorated balcony windows, is situated on the east side of the square.
