Plaza De La Merced (Málaga)
Plaza de la Merced is a public square located in the Centro (Málaga), barrio La Merced in central Málaga, Spain. The plaza has been a part of the city since the city of Málaga's Lex Malacitana, Roman era, and has been operating as a town market place since at least the fifteenth century. It is one of the largest public squares in Málaga’s city center, and is also known for containing Pablo Picasso's Fundación Picasso, childhood home. History Since Lex Flavia Malacitana, Rome, the area now known as Plaza de la Merced was, as it is today, an open public space. During the Arabic rule of the city, the plaza fell outside of the city's exterior wall, and was located near the entrance ''la Puerta de Granada'' through which Ferdinand and Isabel entered in 1487 upon conquering the city. In the 15th century the square operated as a public market. For this reason, it was previously called Plaza del mercado (Market square). In 1507 Mercedarian friars arrived in the plaza, acquiri ...

Lex Malacitana
''Lex Malacitana'' or ''Lex Flavia Malacitana'' (" Flavian law of Malaca") is a bronze tablet bearing Latin local statutes which deal with the official activities of the ''duoviri iuri dicundo''. The tablet was found in the 20th century near Malaca (modern Málaga) with the '' lex Salpensana'', and it was dated from AD 81–84, i.e. the early reign of Domitian. Malaca was governed under this law, which granted free-born persons the privileges of Roman citizenship. Together with the ''lex Salpensana'' and the '' lex Irnitana'' it provides the most complete version of the ''lex Flavia municipalis'', or the Flavian municipal law. and has allowed new insights into the workings of Roman law. The tablets are exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum, Madrid. Since the tablets provide the only surviving copy of large parts of the Flavian municipal law, they have provided new insights into the procedural side of municipal courts. In December 2016 a petition to Congreso de los Di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
