The Corredera square is one of the most emblematic places in the Spanish city of Córdoba. This space, the only quadrangular major square in Andalusia, is located in the center of the city. It has its entrance and exit through the so-called Arco Alto and Arco Bajo.
Among the buildings that shape the square, the Sanchez Peña Market or the Casas de Doña Ana Jacinto stand out. The current market of Sánchez Peña served as a town hall as well as a prison, until in the nineteenth century, in 1846, the businessman from Córdoba, José Sánchez Peña, bought the building and installed the most modern industry in Córdoba with steam engines to create a factory of hats, installing the workers in the upper part of the building where they had their homes.
The space occupied by the plaza has been profoundly remodeled over time. The square has been used for different purposes, mainly festive, such as the bullfights from which the current name of the square derives.1(1)
