Plaza Mayor de Chinchón

Plaza Mayor de Chinchón, Porticoed square and bullring in Chinchón, Spain.

Plaza Mayor de Chinchón is a porticoed square in a Castilian village, ringed by three-story buildings with approximately 234 wooden balconies arranged in an almost circular pattern. These balconies feature adjustable sections that convert into spectator boxes when the square is used for bullfighting events.

The sources document no founding date or royal use for the square. They record only that it is a porticoed square in the urban centre of Chinchón, southeast of the Community of Madrid, counted among the most notable examples of Castilian porticoed squares, with integral grade-1 protection. Its use as a bullring is likewise attested, the surrounding buildings providing 234 balconies.

The square's balconies are painted green, though sources note they were blue in the past. Its arcades serve as a bullring, occasionally hosting bullfighting spectacles. The name Plaza Mayor simply marks it as the town's main square in Chinchón, southeast of the Community of Madrid.

The square sits in the town centre of Chinchón, in the southeast of the Community of Madrid, and is ringed by porticoed buildings with exposed wooden elements. It is used at times as a bullring, so the arcades and balconies can be occupied during bullfighting events. It holds integral protection of grade 1.

The 234 balconies are painted green today, but sources record that they were blue in the past. The square also holds integral protection of grade 1, and its wooden elements are left exposed on the surrounding buildings.
