Ein sehr schöner platz, nette Straßen Musik und sehr zentral, besonders Abend ist hier eine tolle Stimmung

Rafael Bernal Aranda

Plaza céntrica de Mánchester, punto clave de transporte y vida urbana. Rodeada de edificios emblemáticos como la Biblioteca Central, el Town Hall Extension y el Midland Hotel. Aquí estuvo la Iglesia de St Peter (s. XVIII), demolida en el XIX, que dio nombre a la plaza. Lugar histórico: escenario de la masacre de Peterloo (1819). Hoy es un espacio moderno con tranvías, cafés y zonas peatonales. Une pasado histórico y arquitectura contemporánea en el corazón de la ciudad.
