Refiners Square
Adjacent to the Murillo Gardens
Attached to the Murillo Gardens, from which it is separated by a simple iron fence, the square is provided with shaded areas provided by the large trees around it. In the center of the square there are circular and elevated tree wells as benches, from which slender palm trees grow, creating a pleasant overall image. Until the second half of the 19th century, the whole area facing the Murillo Gardens was occupied by the city wall, with Cano y Cueto Street as the exit to the Puerta de la Carne. In the center of the square is the monument to Don Juan Tenorio. It is represented in a standing figure with the classic attire of the seventeenth century, the work of sculptor Nicomedes Díaz Piquero. On the pedestal are the description of the character, according to the verses of Zorrilla, and the beginning of the famous scene of the sofa.
