A Plaza Mayor de Ciudad Rodrigo é o coração histórico e social da cidade, mantendo o traçado medieval original e refletindo a arquitetura civil castelhana preservada nos edifícios em pedra arenisca dos séculos XVI e XVII. Envolvida por varandas de ferro forjado e arcadas térreas típicas, a praça serviu tradicionalmente como centro comercial e administrativo da localidade, palco de mercados, eventos públicos e, outrora, touradas. Destaca-se o Ayuntamiento, edifício renascentista com arcadas e torre sineira. A cidade, fortificada desde o século XII e com um papel estratégico nas Guerras Peninsulares, preserva vestígios históricos como as Três Colunas romanas, integradas no brasão da cidade, testemunhando a sua rica herança.

The Plaza Mayor in Ciudad Rodrigo is the historical and social heart of the city, maintaining its original medieval layout and reflecting the Castilian civil architecture preserved in the 16th and 17th century sandstone buildings. Surrounded by wrought iron balconies and typical ground floor arcades, the square has traditionally served as the commercial and administrative center of the town, hosting markets, public events, and, in the past, bullfights. The Ayuntamiento, a Renaissance building with arcades and a bell tower, stands out. The city, fortified since the 12th century and with a strategic role in the Peninsular Wars, preserves historical remains such as the Three Roman Columns, integrated into the city's coat of arms, bearing witness to its rich heritage.
