Corozal barrio-pueblo is an urban barrio and the administrative center (seat) of Corozal, a municipality of Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 2,631.[1][4]

As was customary in Spain, in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a pueblo which contains a central plaza, the municipal buildings (city hall), and a Catholic church. Fiestas patronales (patron saint festivals) are held in the central plaza every year.[5][6]
