See the historic Roman Catholic church, Spanish-style recreational plaza, and the municipal buildings surrounded by streets and shops.
You can drive around the pueblo or park your car and walk around the square and into the plaza. The Spanish law, which regulated life in Puerto Rico in the early 19th century, stated the plaza's purpose was for celebrations and festivities.
Pueblo is a term primarily used in Puerto Rico to refer to the municipal district (barrio) that serves as the administrative, historic and cultural center of a municipality. The concept of pueblo is often used locally as analogous to the concept of downtown in U.S. cities. Pueblos are officially called barrio-pueblo by the United States Census since 1990.

The historic central plaza is a nice place to visit.
City Hall
facing east by the Plaza de Colón, dates from the Spanish colonial era. It was remodeled by the United States Army Corp of Engineers after the 1918 Mayagüez Earthquake. The project manager for the remodeling added a personal touch to the building: a spire resembling that of New York City's City Hall (since he was a New Yorker). The building is rather small, and mostly houses administrative offices.
