La Glorieta
La Glorieta is a pedestrianised, landscaped square in Murcia's old town, with flowers, palm trees and fountains. It is presided over by the City Hall building, a 19th-century Neoclassical palace, and the Baroque-Rococo 18th-century Episcopal Palace, with its distinctive Martillo. In the square stand a monumental statue of Cardinal Belluga, the monument to the Murcian Nazarene and the bust of José Martínez Tornel. Beneath the surface, in the public car park, the remains of a 12th-century tower from the Arab city wall are preserved. The square has been the scene of historic events, such as the proclamation of the Second Republic in 1931 and the federal republican uprising of 1872.
