Attraction:

La Torre del Reloj

"Originally called the Boca del Puente, this was the main gateway to the inner walled town and was linked to Getsemaní (the outer walled town) by a drawbridge over the moat. The side arches of the gate, which are now open as walkways, were previously used as a chapel and armory. The republican-style tower, complete with a four-sided clock, was added in 1888"

The statue of the city's founder, Pedro de Heredia, is in the middle of the plaza."
