Evening Walking Tour of Madrid – Friday, 17 June 2011 6:30pm (18:30)

To start our visit, we propose the Plaza de la Encarnación, where one of the most significant monuments of the XVII Century can be found: the Monasterio de las monjas agustinas descalzas de La Encarnación. In the centre of the Plaza de Oriente, we find the famous statue on horse of King Phillip IV, another treasure of the XVIIth Century. Our route continues past the Calle Bailén towards its intersection with Calle Mayor, in order to gaze at the magnificent Palacio del Duque de Uceda, favourite of King Phillip III, typical palace of the XVIIth Century. Next to it another building will attract our attention, the Iglesia del Sacramento, church with one of the few mentideros (places where villagers would get together to gossip) that still exist in Madrid nowadays. Walking through the Calle del Sacramento we continue towards the Plaza de la Villa, a beautiful square with interesting buildings: the Ayuntamiento (town hall) and the Casa de Cisneros. From there, we walk past Calle del Codo, Plaza del Conde de Miranda and the Convento de las Carboneras (convent) towards the Plaza Mayor, landmark of the city. Exiting this square and walking towards the Calle de Atocha, we end up in the Plaza de la Provincia, where the Carcel de la Corte lies, formerly a prison, nowadays headquarters of the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores (Spanish Foreign Office).
