Originally, one of the access gates to the wall that surrounded Madrid in the 15th century was located in this location. As it was oriented towards the sunrise, it was called Puerta del Sol.
In this Madrid square is the plate that marks the kilometer zero of the radial roads of Spain and its location determines the numbering of all the streets of Madrid whose beginning is located at the end of the street closest to the square.
Puerta del Sol is also a nerve center for entertainment, leisure and commerce in Madrid.
