Plaza Miranda is a public square bounded by Quezon Boulevard, Hidalgo Street and Evangelista Street in Quiapo, Manila. It is the plaza which fronts the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene (Quiapo Church), one of the main churches of the City of Manila, and is considered as the center of Quiapo as a whole. Inaugurated in its current form in 1961, it is named after José Sandino y Miranda. Currently, Plaza Miranda serves as a freedom park, and with thousands of people crossing through it every day, it is considered to be Manila’s version of Times Square. Despite fronting the Quiapo Church, Plaza Miranda and the streets surrounding it is known as a center for fortune-telling and the sale of lucky charms and amulets despite Catholic Church doctrine deploring the practice.
