Description

The Plaza Mayor in Madrid signified the rise of Baroque architecture in Spain. The plaza illustrates a Spanish style of Baroque architecture that is a little different than that of Italy. This specific style of architecture was prominent both in Spain and in its former colonies like Belgium. The Baroque style of architecture used in the centerpiece of Spain’s capital city signifies the Spaniards compliance with Rome and the Popes of the Council of Trent’s suggestions within the realm of Catholic art.
