The square has hosted many activities including bullfights, executions, markets and symphonies.

Once you are finished in the square, take some take to explore the many arcades that will connect you to other areas of the city, you never know what you will find! In terms of museums, the Museo del Prado is an absolute must. It houses one of the most important collections of European art in the world, and features many well known artists including the works of Francisco Goya.
