Neighborhood

As Baton Rouge's oldest neighborhood, the historic Spanish Town dates back to 1805. With historic architecture that includes homes from 1823, Spanish Town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This downtown neighborhood is home to an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, actors, business people, and students. The city's largest Mardi Gras parade is held in Spanish Town.

A downtown neighborhood, Spanish Town begins just south of Arsenal Park and includes State Capitol Park. The neighborhood extends south to Main Street and includes Spanish Town Road. This beautiful, tree-filled neighborhood is very pedestrian-friendly, and sidewalks are lined with shade trees that often form a canopy over the road.
