Plaza Guadalajara

The core of old Guadalajara stretches for seven blocks and is laid out like a cross. At its western end is the Plaza Guadalajara, dominated by a stunning cathedral; at the southern end of the cross is the Plaza de Armas, enhanced by a park with a lacy wrought-iron bandstand where concerts are performed on Thursday and Sunday evenings; at the eastern arm of the cross is Plaza de La Liberacion, named in honor of the heroes of the Revolution for Independence; at the northern arm is Plaza de La Rotonda, enhanced by a ring of Greek columns in the center of its park.
