Guide | Plaza Mayor
Madrid’s Plaza Mayor was established in the 15th century
as a market place and is nowadays the liveliest square in
the city.
In 1617, Phillip III ordered a newer, more attractive square
to be built, of which the Phillip III statue standing in the
square bears witness. In days gone by, the square was the
stage for bullfights and heretic trials – today it is
a stage for concerts. For those searching for souvenirs, Plaza
Mayor is the place to go. Every Sunday stamp collectors gather
in the square to swap and sell their treasures.
