Plaza de la Liberación - 44100 Guadalajara

Beautiful place its always clean and great security, there is events here year round. Great places to visit all around this area.

Great square with many beautiful colonial buildings. Expect to be there at least 2-3 hours since there is plenty to do for everyone.

The feeling of being in a place with so much history is amazing. And there are many shops and places to eat nearby!

Love this city it’s full of life and color, great food everywhere you turn

Beautiful place! Packed full of history with gorgeous architecture to keep your eyes feasting.

Nice lively place to pass time but nothing great or extraordinary here. Lot of cafes and individual food vendors are around for street food. Big open space for kids to play.This Plaza is also known as  "Plaza de las Dos Copas" because of its two fountains shaped like it. The Plaza de la Liberacion  was built in 1952 by Ignacio Diaz Morales to remember the abolition of slavery. The monument of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla breaking the chains of slavery. The Plaza is located opposite the Teatro Degollado and behind the Cathedral, on Hidalgo Avenue.On the north side of the plaza, next to the Museo Regional de Guadalajara, is the legislative palace. It can be identified by the thick stone columns. Across the Calle Belén to the east is the Palacio de la Justicia. It was built in 1588 as Guadalajara’s first nunnery. Inside is the mural by Guillermo Chávez. On a sunny day in summers, it gets very hot here so avoid visiting this place as there is nowhere you can take a shade to sit and relax. This is a spot in the tour package of hop on hop off city tours as well and a bus stop is right on the side of the square.

The city (municipality) government is always hosting activities with music and or with lost of decorations here at Plaza de la Liberación since it is the center plaza of Guadalajara. It's wonderful to see families together and enjoying time together here at Plaza de la Liberación.

A traditional place to sit and relax. Specially if you're visiting GDL, you can't miss a picture on the big Guadalajara sign for the memories. A really peaceful place to relax.
