Plaza de Cervantes is considered place of importance for the history of Badajoz. Parts of the square occupy an area which belonged to St. Andrew's Church and its cemetery. It is decorated in white marble with a concentric mosaic of pointed stars dating to 1888. Plaza Alta, recently restored, was for centuries the center of the city since it exceeded the limits of the Muslim citadel; it was formerly known simply as "the square". Spanish flamenco guitarist [[Paco de Lucía]] performed on the Plaza Alta on 10 July 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pacodelucia.org/en/calendario/2013-07|title=July|publisher=Pacodelucia.org|access-date=11 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130715184659/http://www.pacodelucia.org/en/calendario/2013-07|archive-date=July 15, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> La Giralda is located near Plaza de la Soledad.
