Visitors walking from El Morro to San Cristobal will pass by Quincentennial Square, a large plaza constructed in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World. A 40-ft/12-m totem-pole-style sculpture is the plaza's modern centerpiece, which some have criticized for being at odds with the old city's historic setting. The plaza frequently hosts outdoor music and dancing extravaganzas and is a favorite spot for skateboarders, government workers on lunch breaks and mothers out for a stroll with their toddlers. Just south of Calle Norzagaray, Old San Juan, San Juan.
