Plaça Redona

Plaça Redona is a perfectly circular courtyard tucked behind the dense, winding streets of Valencia’s old town. While the surrounding city follows a grid of straight lines, this space is defined by its unusual shape, measuring thirty-seven meters across and enclosed by a ring of residential and commercial buildings. Locals often call it El Clot, a name meaning the hollow or the dip, which reflects its history as a compact site built directly into the fabric of the market quarter.
