Plaza Mayor

Plaza Mayor is Madrid’s historic central square and one of the most iconic landmarks in Spain.
Originally built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries during the reign of Philip III, the square has served as a marketplace, venue for public celebrations, royal ceremonies, and cultural events throughout its long history. Surrounded by elegant uniform buildings with arcades and hundreds of balconies overlooking the plaza, Plaza Mayor is known for its distinctive architecture and lively atmosphere.
