Plaza Mayor

Dating back to the early 17th century when it was commissioned by King Philip III, Plaza Mayor is a stunning example of Spanish Baroque architecture. The square is known for its symmetrical design, elegant facades, and uniformity. It features three-story residential buildings with balconies and a series of frescoes and statues on the facades.

Some of the key sights in the square are the equestrian statue of King Philip III, the Casa de la Panadería (Bakery House) whose frescoes depict scenes from classical mythology, and the many shops, cafes and restaurants in the arcade surrounding the square.
