Plaza de Armas is the historic heart of Guadalajara, a tree-lined square anchored by an ornate wrought-iron gazebo imported from France. The plaza is a lively gathering place where locals and visitors relax on benches, watch street performers, and admire the surrounding architecture, including the Palacio de Gobierno.
