Meereen's central plaza[1] is a plaza before the Great Pyramid of Meereen.[2]
Layout
The plaza fronts the Great Pyramid of Meereen. It is paved with bricks of many colors, and the heat rises from them in shimmering waves. Westward of the plaza is a broad brick thoroughfare that leads to Daznak's Pit.[3]

Quotes
When they caught sight of the palanquin emerging from the pyramid, a cheer went up from those nearest and spread across the plaza. How queer. They cheer me on the same plaza where I once impaled one hundred sixty-three Great Masters.[3]
