About Plaza Mayor
Madrid
Located in the heart of the Madrid de los Austrias, near Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor is a historical and tourist landmark, and popular meeting place. Built in the 17th century during the reign of Philip III, whose equestrian statue stands at the centre of the square, it has hosted markets, bullfights, public executions and Inquisition trials in the past. Picturesque three-story buildings with uniform balconies and arcades surround the square, overlooking markets and busy cafes, making it an ideal location to enjoy a glass of wine and tapas.
