Plaza de Armas
I wouldn't translate it if the name is still the same today, simply so that visitors can easily identify it.
The reason I say this is that I have a lot of experience of brits who complain that they can't find "Orange Square" in Marbella!
You could say, eg, "the main square and former site of the arsenal, hence its name: 'Plaza de Armas'"
good luck!
I'm off to (near) Marbella tomorrow...
