Plaza de la Villa
This is my favourite square in the city precisely because nobody's in it. You can read four hundred years of architecture in one slow turn.
A small, perfect square that was the seat of Madrid's government for centuries — three buildings from three eras (Gothic-Mudéjar, Renaissance, Baroque) around one quiet space.
