The Plaza have been around and been the center of the whole city under the Spanish era of 1781-1821 and still stands until the city was under the Mexican era of 1821-1847, until they'd been under the United States after 1847 until now. Some establishments are still functional like the La Placita Church which still helds mass for the catholic followers near the place.
