The Plaza de la Villa (formerly Plaza de San Salvador ) is located in the historic center of Madrid ( Spain ), next to the main street . In it, there are three small streets, corresponding to the primitive medieval layout of the city: El Codo appears on the east, the Cordon on the south and Madrid on the west.

In its outline 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 ( XV century ), built in Gothic-Mudejar style, which is located on the eastern side of the square.

It is followed in antiquity by 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 the Baroque style , one of the headquarters of the Madrid City Council , located in the western area of ​​the plaza.

It is one of the main centers of medieval Madrid, given its location equidistant between the gate of Guadalajara and La Vega , two of the most important accesses of the city during the Middle Ages .
