» Calle Mayor y Calle del Cordon, Madrid, España [map]
The Plaza de la Villa is a picturesque small square in the heart of Madrid, not far from the much larger Plaza Mayor. In contrary to the latter, the buildings at the Plaza de la Villa all have contrasting styles. The surrounding buildings are: Casa de la Villa, Casa de Cisneros and Torre de los Lujanes. At the center of the square is a statue of Alvaro de Bazan, the Spanish Admiral who planned the Armada, the fleet that attempted to invade England. The statue designed by Mariano Benlliure was added to the square in 1980.
