Isabel II Square

Finally, after spending a day walking through this Madrid of the Habsburgs and learning about its history, we arrive on one of the most relevant squares of the city: the square dedicated to the traditional queen of the 19th century, daughter of Fernando VII and mother of Alfonso XII, great grandfather of the current king of Spain.

This square was created thanks to King Felipe III of the Habsburg dynasty. The fountain Caños del Peral, a granite pond providing water to the people of Madrid through seven spouts. The square has the honor to have two dynasties: the Habsburgs and the Bourbons, who finished the configuration it currently has.
