Plaza de Maria Pita is a central square located in the heart of A Coruña, a city in the northwest region of Galicia, Spain. The square is named after a local heroine, Maria Pita, who defended the city against an English invasion in the late 16th century.

The square is dominated by the impressive facade of the City Hall, which was built in the early 20th century in a neoclassical style. The square is a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, with plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from.

In addition to its historical significance, the square is also a venue for cultural events and festivals throughout the year, including music performances, fairs, and other celebrations. One of the most notable events held in the square is the annual Feast of St. John, which takes place on June 23rd and includes fireworks and other festivities.
