Royal Palace of Madrid

The Royal Palace stands on the site of the former Alcázar of Madrid, a fortress turned palace by Juan II, Carlos V, and Felipe II, who made it the monarchy’s official residence in 1561. The Alcázar burned down on Christmas Eve 1734. Felipe V commissioned a new palace designed by Filippo Juvarra, completed by Giambattista Sacchetti after Juvarra’s death. The palace features multiple floors and domes built without wood, housing royal offices and staff.

La Latina

La Latina’s narrow, winding streets mostly date to the Middle Ages and often lead to squares. Originally outside the medieval city walls, it housed many merchants who sold goods at markets. This commercial past is reflected in street names like Plaza de la Cebada and Plaza de los Carros. The area includes El Rastro, Madrid’s best-known flea market.

Barrio de Las Letras

In the 17th century Spanish Golden Age, famous authors such as Cervantes and Lope de Vega lived in this neighborhood, which is named for its literary history. Some streets honor these writers and other important chapters of Spanish culture and art.
