🏛️ Elegant apartment next to the Mercado de San Miguel — Plaza del Conde de Miranda, Madrid

There is one address in Madrid from which everything makes sense. One where you wake up, open the window and thirty seconds later you are in the capital's most famous market. Where Plaza Mayor is a two-minute walk away. Where the Royal Palace is seven. And where the Prado Museum is waiting after a quarter of an hour's gentle stroll through the historic centre.

That address is Plaza del Conde de Miranda, right in Habsburg Madrid. The oldest district in the city, with its medieval alleys, centuries-old taverns and a unique atmosphere between the historic and the everyday.

🏛️ HISTORIC CURIOSITIES OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

The neighbourhood the apartment is in is one of Madrid's most historic:

— Plaza Mayor was built between 1617 and 1619 by the architect Juan Gómez de Mora. At 237 metres long, it was the setting for coronations, autos-da-fé and bullfights for centuries.

— The Mercado de San Miguel occupies the site of an old medieval church. Its current cast-iron structure dates from 1916 and is one of the best examples of early 20th-century industrial architecture in Madrid.
