Austrias
We start our tour at the Plaza Mayor(1)
(Main Square), which takes its name at
the start of the 16th century. Juan de
Herrera was commissioned to remodel the
old square of Arrabal, but its construction
didn't begin until 1617 under the
instruction of Juan Gómez de Mora by
order of Felipe III.
Two routes recommended
Teatro Real, Puerta del Sol and Alcalá
Our tour begins with the Teatro Real(17) built by Queen Isabel II and remodelled and
inaugurated in 1997 as the opera house.
From the Puerta de Toledo to the Parque del Oeste
Our itinerary begins in a popular area. The Puerta de Toledo(30) (Toledo Archway) is
located in a mould district of Madrid called La Latina, which preserves the traditional
flavor of the old part of the city.
