Ponce - Plaza of Delights

(Local Name: Plaza las Delicias) Formerly known as Plaza Central (Plaza Las Delicias) the area is made up of two adjoining squares. Surrounded by 19th C buildings, within the plaza are Cathedral, benches and the Fuente de Leones (Fountain of Lions), a monument originating from the 1939 World's Fair in New York.

The Plaza Las Delicias is as the name suggests a delightful place. It is an oasis away from all the outer, less appealing neighborhoods that you need to traverse to get into the old town. Spend an evening here in an outdoor café just watching the people of Ponce interact and enjoy life. There are also two statues of note in the Plaza Las Delicias, one of Luis Muoz Marin and the other of Juan Morel Campos.
