Plaza Mayor
(Asturias, 16th century and
Bourbons, 18th century)
This square has been the city
centre since Philip II made it
the seat of the Court in 1561.
In 1617, Juan Gómez de Mora
changed the design of the medieval
Plaza del Arrabal into a new one.
The resulting design
was one of the largest squares
in
Europe, surounded by a large
open
area that could be accessed
through three arches, nine
gates and open streets. It was
closed in and refomed by Juan
de Villanueva
in 1790 after it suffered a
devastating fire. The
equestrian
statue of Philip III and la Casa
de
la Panaderia (Bakery) are its two
symbols.

A fire destroyed El Alcàzar de los Austrias (Habsdurg fortress) in 1734.
Three years later, Sachetti, an italian architect, set to work on the
construction of a new royal residence: a palace with Baroque lines, conceived
as a fortress with a central courtyard. The halls were decorated by the
premiere European artist of the time. During Charles III’s reign the wings
were extended to open up onto the Plaza de la Armería.
