The rectangular square -founded in 1670 by Fernando de Villegas-, with four open accesses at its ends, is defined by continuous urban borders and follows the steep slope of Maiquetia topography. Though it has not been declared a heritage, it is a traditional town center with a lot of commercial vitality and pedestrian activity that is developed on a colonial pattern that has been highly modified, which makes for a heterogeneous reading, facing the port’s passenger dock and the fish market. The square organizes several elements: to the south, the church of San Sebastián (1843) -with three naves and a neogothic façade- restored by Graziano Gasparini between 1967 and 1968; a central point within the plaza, with the image of the Virgin of Lourdes on a small circular square; and on the north edge, the square Plaza de Jerusalen, its perimeter defined by twelve chapels (Stations of the Cross) with gabled roofs. In the center is chapel number thirteen with high roofs and an almost life-sized figure of Christ on a wooden cross facing Plaza Lourdes.
