Recinto de la Villa de Madrid, Historic district in Madrid, Spain
The Villa de Madrid enclosure extends across the old city center, containing medieval walls, squares, churches, and architectural monuments from different periods.
Three significant growth phases mark the district's evolution: the Islamic Magerit in the 11th century, Felipe IV's enclosure in the 17th century, and Castro's expansion in 1857.
The district holds numerous monuments reflecting Madrid's architectural heritage, from Gothic to Neoclassical styles, including the San Miguel Market and traditional squares.
The protected area encompasses three main zones corresponding to different historical periods, making it an essential location for understanding Madrid's urban development.
The district includes two additional protected units: the Altos del Hipódromo colonies and the San Isidro cemetery, which received cultural heritage status in 1995.
