Confusingly, what is now [[Seville Square]] is depicted as "Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>" (Plaza of Ferdinand VII), while the [[Plaza Ferdinand VII|plaza to the west that currently bears that name]] is called "Plaza de la Constitución" (Constitution Plaza).
This is the result of a Spanish decree dated [[August 14]], [[1812]], which mandated that Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup> be renamed Plaza de la Constitución (in honor of the [[Wikipedia:Spanish Constitution of 1812|Spanish Constitution of 1812]]) and Plaza de Sevilla be renamed Plaza de Fernando 7<sup>o</sup>.<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usflorida.html The Luso-Hispanic World in Maps (Library of Congress)]</ref>
