Plaza de Santo Domingo

The plaza de Santo Domingo is a public square in the city of Madrid, Spain.

Located in the northern end of the city by the 16th century, near the Walls of Philip II, the square became a key point for the traffic arriving to Madrid from El Pardo or from Fuencarral.

[3] The square gained its current size after the demolition of the convent during the 19th-century ecclesiastical confiscations.

[5][6] As the urban space degraded with the preponderance given to car, the part of the parking lot above ground was ultimately demolished in 2006.

The new square, with a gardened area designed by Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada installed on the surface, was inaugurated in April 2007.
