Located in the very center, this square is the ultimate meeting point for both locals and travelers.

Its name comes from the sun carved in low relief that decorated the entrance. Over time, the area grew in importance, transforming into the semi-circular square we know today, thanks to 19th-century reforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12f08fc4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"12f08fc4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-783207c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"783207c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/hiddenhotels.com\/gran-hotel-ingles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Puerta_del_Sol_Madrid.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7351\" alt=\"Puerta del sol in Madrid, ideal for a romantic getaway in madrid\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hiddenhotels.com\/gran-hotel-ingles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Puerta_del_Sol_Madrid.jpg 960w, https:\/\/hiddenhotels.com\/gran-hotel-ingles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Puerta_del_Sol_Madrid-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hiddenhotels.com\/gran-hotel-ingles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Puerta_del_Sol_Madrid-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hiddenhotels.com\/gran-hotel-ingles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/Puerta_del_Sol_Madrid-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56997b50 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"56997b50\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36defb01 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"36defb01\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-362ece7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"362ece7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Casa de Correos and Spain\u2019s Most Famous Clock\u00a0<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b7f95ce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4b7f95ce\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52588ab3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52588ab3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"translation-block\">Among all the buildings surrounding the square, the Casa de Correos is undoubtedly the most emblematic. Built in the 18th century, it was initially the headquarters of the Post Office and now houses the Presidency of the Community of Madrid. Its tower features the iconic Puerta del Sol clock, whose chimes mark the start of the new year.\u00a0\nEvery December 31st, thousands gather in the square to eat the traditional twelve grapes with each chime of the clock. The moment is broadcast live on television and has become one of Spain\u2019s most iconic celebrations, symbolizing unity and hope for the new year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6691be61 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6691be61\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d9aa0b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4d9aa0b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73730534 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"73730534\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sculptures and Symbols of Puerta del Sol\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c4bcf0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2c4bcf0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-447e5a04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"447e5a04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">The square is also notable for its symbolic and sculptural richness.
