CAMPO DE PRÍNCIPE

This square was once the centre of the Jewish quarter and its name is due to the fact that it was built to celebrate the wedding of the son of the Catholic Monarchs.

Originally there used to be vegetable and flower gardens here. On one side there is still a stone cross on one side called the "Cristo de los Favores" which was installed in 1640. Legend has it that if you come on Good Friday and ask for three "favours" then they will be granted and people still traditionally come on this day for that reason.
