The true heart of the city can be seen at the Plaza de la Libertad. It is the most important point in the center, by the historical value of the buildings that surround it. Among these buildings are the Casa de Castilla, La Campana building, and the building of the Treasury, among others. In the center of the square, a unique kiosk with European blacksmithing can be seen, and if you pay enough attention you will notice that in general, the buildings all around are highlighted with precisely the same blacksmithing details with which the old houses are also decorated. There is an outstanding monument to the settlers of Tampico, erected in 1923, that stands between the Treasury building and the old Hotel Seville to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the city. On this street you will find access to the food market and the Old Customs building.
