Hiking

The Plaza Mayor in Colmenar de Oreja is one of the most emblematic squares in the Community of Madrid. Its construction began in the 16th century and lasted for more than 100 years. Designed by the architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, a disciple of Michelangelo, the square is a magnificent example of Castilian civil architecture.
The square stands out for its porticoed design and its ingenious integration of two neighbourhoods separated by a stream. It also houses historic buildings such as the Town Hall and the Pósito.

It is an impeccable representation of a Castilian porticoed square, with arcades, stone and wooden columns and traditional facades. The current construction was carried out between the 17th and 18th centuries. The main buildings are the Town Hall and El Pósito. At the exit of the square is the Stone Museum.
