Ourense's Plaza Mayor is one of the most emblematic spaces in the historic center: It's a porticoed square with a slight incline, making it unique in Galicia. The slope is used to create a very photogenic perspective. Since the Middle Ages, it has been the city's administrative and social center. Markets, public events, and neighborhood meetings were held here. Notable buildings: City Hall: a 19th-century neoclassical building with an elegant façade and balconies. Palaces and noble houses: several properties with heraldic shields and typical Galician galleries.

It spans the Miño River, linking the historic center of Ourense with the A Ponte neighborhood. It was built in the 1st century AD as a branch of the Via Nova (Via XVIII), connecting Bracara Augusta (Braga) with Asturica Augusta (Astorga). Only traces of the original Roman phase remain, such as rusticated stonework at the ends near the banks. It suffered damage during the Middle Ages; in 1228, under Bishop Lorenzo and with the support of Ferdinand III, it was rebuilt with pointed arches and renovated approaches. Until the 17th century, the bridge repeatedly collapsed. The final work was directed by Melchor de Velasco Agüero around 1660, establishing its current appearance.
