📖

Full description

Torre de los Lujanes is a 15th-century residential tower named after the Lujanes family, wealthy merchants of the time, and counts among the oldest surviving residential buildings in Madrid. Its Moorish-style details stand out on a small square that lies on the walking route between the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor.

It is a brief stop of around fifteen minutes, free and open to view at any time. Reviewers disagree on its impact: some find it a quietly atmospheric corner of old Madrid, others a quick, easy-to-miss detail, so it is best taken as part of a wider walk.

Reviews

Somehow, when passing this little square on your way from the royal palace to Plaza mayor or Gran Via you feel that you are in the very heart of Madrid, its ancient place. And so it is, as you later come to read somewhere. Quiet and charming place.
