Introduction

The Zócalo of Puebla (also the Constitution square) is the centre of this World Heritage colonial city, enclosed by the cathedral, the city hall and arcaded colonial buildings. Known for its greenery and musical fountain, it fills at dusk with strolling, music-listening citizens — the place to feel Puebla's unhurried, 'Angelopolis' character.
