Having walked for about an hour while visiting attractions at the city center, I took a short break here. There are benches to sit down and enjoy the moment. The tall monument has a statue of an angel standing on the globe, statue of a lion, plus some inscriptions. Note that this plaza is located across from the Church of the Rosary or Iglesia del Rosario.

This is a slightly sketchy plaza located in the centre of downtown San Salvador. Frequented by prostitutes, panhandlers and homeless it can feel at times slightly sketchy. However, a police presence and recent gentrification have made it a lot more safe in recent years, if only during the day. Nevertheless it still maintains a gritty tone. The biggest positive of plaza barrios is that the Iglesia El Rosario is located adjacent to it, and its only a stones throw away from the Cathedral Metropolitana and National Palace, as well as the central market. Because of this it makes for a nice additional stop in a larger tour of the downtown city area. There is parking for $1 an hour next to Iglesia El Rosario however use it at your own risk as the ticket booth guy actually assaulted our tour guide after refusing to provide him a receipt for parking.
