Sobre
Fatos rápidos: A praça mede cerca de 129 por 94 metros e possui 237 varandas voltadas para o interior. Originalmente, recebeu mercados e execuções públicas, combinando comércio com espetáculo social.
Destaques: Duas vezes por ano, a praça se transforma para dois dos eventos mais antigos de Madrid: as festividades de San Isidro e o mercado de Natal, exibindo a cultura local com presépios gigantes e música ao vivo. Suas fachadas únicas pintadas proporcionam um cenário quase teatral, tornando a atmosfera animada e visualmente impressionante.
