The square is the center of the Ponce Historic Zone, and it is flanked by the historic Ponce City Hall to the south, the early 19th-century Teatro Fox Delicias to the north, the NRHP-listed Banco Cr�dito y Ahorro Ponce�o and Banco de Ponce buildings to the east, and the Armstrong-Poventud Residence to the west.
