    The Plaza de la Villa is one of the best preserved monumental complexes in Madrid. It is located in the historic center, near Puerta del Sol and has been the headquarters of the capital's City Council.
    It was one of the main centers of medieval Madrid, since three small streets corresponding to the primitive layout of the city have their origins here: El Codo, El Cordón and Madrid. In its surroundings are the main facades of three buildings of great historical-artistic value, built in different centuries. The oldest is the House and Tower of Lujanes (15th century), built in the Gothic-Mudejar style, which is located on the eastern side of the square and is today the headquarters of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. Next in antiquity are the Casa de Cisneros (16th century), a Plateresque palace that closes the southern part of the enclosure, and the Casa de la Villa (17th century), in baroque style, one of the headquarters of the Madrid City Council in its day. , located in the western area of the plaza.
