We accessed the Plaza Mayor from a
narrow alley at the Arco the Artesana,
…and once we got we were awed by
the massiveness of Madrid’s main plaza.
The Plaza Mayor was first built in1580
during Philip III's reign and has been
the scene of countless historical events,
…and even became the execution site of those
condemned to death during the Spanish Inquisition
