Paseo Nicolás Bravo, Puebla
Paseo Nicolás Bravo is one of the most beautiful places to visit when in the city of Puebla. The area, within which the plaza was built, served several purposes since its inception in the 17th century. It was founded as a neighborhood alternative to the Village Center, used once as a field of military practice and also as a cemetery. Today the square is a place where people come to commemorate Nicolás Bravo, whose monument stands elegantly in the plaza, and to contemplate the many sculptures adorning the area.
