One of its names comes from the Fountain of the Lions, and the other from the Casa del Pópulo (House of the People), a Plateresque building that houses the Tourist Office. Also located in this square are the old butcher shop, now a courthouse, the Villalar Arch, and the Jaén Gate.
The Old Butcher Shops, a civil building constructed in 1547 during the reign of Charles V, had a slaughterhouse on the ground floor and the sales area on the upper floor during the Middle Ages.
