Plaza Muñoz Rivera
Plaza Muñoz Rivera, formally Plaza Luis Muñoz Rivera, is the smaller of the two plazas (city squares) at ''Plaza Las Delicias'' in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico and is located on the north side of ''Las Delicias''. The square is notable for its fountains and for the statue of Luis Muñoz Rivera. The historic Parque de Bombas and Ponce Cathedral buildings are located immediately to the south the Plaza Muñoz Rivera. The square is at the center of the Ponce Historic Zone, and it is next to the Armstrong-Poventud Residence to the west, and the Teatro Fox Delicias to the north. The square dates back to the early Spanish settlement in Ponce of 1670. It is the main tourist attraction of the city, receiving about a quarter of a million visitors per year.〔Based on the documented number of visitors at the nearby Serralles Castle (''See'').〕
==History==
The history of the plaza dates back to as far as the creation of the first Catholic chapel in Ponce in 1670.〔(Doris Vazquez. Spain in Puerto Rico: Early Settlements. The Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute. 1986. ) Retrieved November 22, 2009.〕 It is also known that around 1840 Mayor Salvador de Vives planted trees as a renovation project for the plaza.〔(By Guillermo A. Baralt. ''Buena Vista: life and work on a Puerto Rican hacienda, 1833-1904.'' Page 12. )〕 It was first lit in 1864.〔(''Salsa, sabor y control!: sociología de la música "tropical".'' Ángel G. Quintero Rivera. )〕 According to the traditional Spanish colonial custom, a town's main square, or plaza, was the center of the town. In the case of Ponce, a Catholic church was built on the center of the plaza, thus splitting the plaza into two sections: Plaza Muñoz Rivera to the north and Plaza Degetau to the south.〔(Plaza Las Delicias. Ponce > Ciudad Senorial > Atracciones Turisticas. Official Website of the Government of the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce. ) Retrieved July 18, 2010.〕 The Plaza Las Delicias square is, thus, actually made up of two plazas. The north section of the square is named ''Plaza Luis Muñoz Rivera'' (Luis Muñoz Rivera square), while the south section is called ''Plaza Federico Degetau'' (Federico Degetau square). Plaza Las Delicias measures a little less than half of 8,800 square meters.〔(Ramon Marin. ''Las Fiestas Populares de Ponce.'' Page 200. )〕
