Plaza Mayor
The name of the plaza has changed over time. It has been known as "Plaza del Arrabal", "Plaza de la Constitución", "Plaza Real", "Plaza de la República" and now "Plaza Mayor". These names reflect events, history and reign in Spanish history. "Plaza del Arrabal" was the original name of the present day "Plaza Mayor". The "Plaza del Arrabal" was once the site of the most popular marketplace until the end of 15th century. Following the Constitution of 1812, all major plazas in Spain were renamed "Plaza de la Constitución". It also held this name 1820 to 1823, 1833 to 1835, 1840 to 1843, and 1876 to 1922. When the Borbón king was restored in 1814, it became known as the "Plaza Real". In 1873, the name changed to "Plaza de la República". At the end of the Spanish Civil War the plaza received its present name of "Plaza Mayor".

5.00Frederico was a wonderful guide and gave us a great tour! He was very personable and knowledgeable about the city of Madrid. I would recommend, it was especially nice to skip the long line to enter the palace.

2.00Not a good start at all got to the meeting point 10.03 and group had already left as we had got lost getting there were told we could not run and catch up and was charged another 100 euros for moving the trip for another day. Granted it was our fault for being late but not great customer service . I book a lot of trips via Viator over the years and this has put me off one mistake ! I think as a minimum we should be refunded the 100 euros ! This was terrible experience
