Inside the square are 44 statues of Spanish rulers. In the centre of the Square is a statue of Felipe IV.Out of the 2800 rooms of the Palacio only sixteen rooms are opened to the public.The original palace was built around 1537. And actually the Royal family...doesn't live here but outside the city.

To reach the Plaza de la Villa (the Mayor’s office building) we'll have a walk in old Madrid where the narrow streets and beautiful lighting provide many photo opportunities.

We reach Plaza Mayor probably the most known square in Madrid, it was used for such events as bullfights, jousting, and public executions. The Plaza could can hold up to 100,000 people.The arches on the four sides of the square and the life and vitality makes this a good and relaxed spot to take for beautiful pictures.
