THE SOLEDAD SQUARE

Known of ancient as " Plazuela of the Loneliness ", this urban space receives his name of the Virgin mistress of the city, Our Lady of the Loneliness, and is composed by a series of buildings of different epochs and architectural styles that nevertheless they guard " quite harmonic " that gives an extraordinary personality to the same one. His principal buildings are the Hermitage of the Mistress, the Weathercock and the building of Three Bells.

La popular Giralda fué construida a imagen y semejanza de la torre de la Catedral de Sevilla, sobre el lugar que ocupó durante años la prmitiva ermita de la Virgen de la Soledad.

In an end of the square, a sculptural group has been dedicated to the brilliant flamenco singer of the city Porrinas of Badajoz, who faithful to the Holy Thursday was dedicating every year his arrows to the popular Mistress of the city.
