 Welcome
PLAZA MAYOR (Main Square): A popular stage over the centuries for royal festivities, autos-de-fe and bullfights, and today thronged with open-air cafes. It stands where Arab merchants once set up an extensive marketplace of stalls on the bed of a dry lake outside the city walls of Madrid. In the sixteenth century, Philip II ordered his favorite architect to clear out the old haphazard market and design a proper arcaded plaza that could serve as marketplace, showplace, and gathering place, something grand and appropriate for the city he had made the capital of Castile. The first building on the huge square was completed in 1590. It was the Casa de la Panaderia, former offices of the bread makers. In 1992 its facades were covered with mythological images in vaguely psychedelic designs and colors.
It was there, on this square, that royal progresses were taken place and the ravages of plague and famine, military tattoos and revolutions, early bullfights conducted on horseback and the sight where convicted heretics were burned.
