TOWN SQUARE

The bastide of Valencia-sur-Baïse is characterized by its thirteenth century architecture. The small and harbor town, small on the edge of Baïse, extends according to the hazards posed by the river. On the other hand, the high city breathes and organizes around this beautiful place of the Hotel-de-Ville, where the town hall occupies only a master house, however very cute, striking pale beside the important dimensions of the magnificent Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, remarkably well restored. The other three sides of the square are embraced with "covered" and unavoidable places of sociabilization in the southwest. Once a stopover covered the center of the square, but it was destroyed in the seventeenth century to enlarge the passage and draw the current grand street, which ran a elbow on two sides of the square. Please note that in 2008 the site pavement was completely redesigned.
