Meta review

Some mixed reviews for this urban sqaure: visitors mostly enjoy the colourful flowers, water fountains and the gorgeous city hall building but the experience is negatively impacted by the road traffic and number of cafe terraces encroaching on some of the space.

Environmental & Social

Mix of concrete and green spaces. Part of the city's architectural heritage.

Conclusion

The Glorieta is a very pleasant architectural ensemble that deserve a quick visit, possibly seating down for a drink and appreciating the play of water, gardens and historical buildings.
