Even though Plaza de Santa Ana<\/strong> has changed a lot<\/strong> throughout the years, it is still a meeting point which is located in the very centre of Madrid<\/strong>. Nowadays, the walkers who approach Plaza de Santa Ana<\/strong>, especially in good weather, find themselves in a lively and bustling area<\/strong> full of passers-by and pavement caf\u00e9s that make it a very bright and busy place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

As in the case of many things, not everybody is pleased about the current aspect of the square. Some people complain about the fact that it has lost part of its original essence and that it is now more oriented to tourists and business rather than to the enjoyment of the city. In Estate One<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0we think that Plaza de Santa Ana is really worth visiting<\/strong>, not only because of its history<\/strong> but also because of the jollity it conveys<\/strong>. When we stroll along Plaza de Santa Ana<\/strong> we feel wrapped up in a dynamic and lively atmosphere<\/strong>. Today, in our section Madrid Corners<\/strong>, we will write about it. The previous article in this section was about Mercado de San Ant\u00f3n<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

THE NAME OF AN OLD CONVENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plaza de Santa Ana<\/strong> is located in Barrio de las Cortes<\/strong> in which Barrio de las Letras<\/strong> is included<\/a>. This area is in the very centre of Madrid. The square was built in 1810<\/strong> and it was then called Plaza del Pr\u00edncipe Alfonso<\/strong>. There are two buildings, facing the square,\u00a0 <\/span>which must be highlighted: Teatro Espa\u00f1ol<\/strong> and Hotel Reina Victoria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

In the square, we can also admire two sculptures, one of them of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca<\/strong> and the other one of Calder\u00f3n de la Barca<\/strong>. Undoubtedly, the square is very much connected with literary figures and the arts<\/strong> in general. Ram\u00f3n Gomez de la Serna<\/strong> himself, sometimes in his writings, refered to this square and conveyed its activity and liveliness: “there are nights when I cannot digest the truth unless I make a quick stop at Plaza de Santa Ana”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

The Convento de Santa Ana<\/strong>, founded by San Juan de la Cruz<\/strong> in 1586<\/strong>, was located there. Later, it was pulled down by Jos\u00e9 Bonaparte. The current name of the square is, unfortunately, the only memory we have of it.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

A TYPICALLY SPANISH SQUARE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the decades, Plaza de Santa Ana<\/strong> has changed its aspect and its use. Today, we will look into some curious facts about its history. In 1900, ornithological markets were regularly held there<\/strong>, and birds and flowers were sold. In 1925, it became the first pedestrianized square in Madrid<\/strong>. Years ago, most of the space was taken up by trees and gardens<\/strong>. In this millenium, in 2001<\/strong>, it was decided that the square should be renovated and have today\u00b4s structure: an open space with a large central part where Madrile\u00f1os and visitors could enjoy a leisure area.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

We can still see centenary taverns and cafeterias<\/strong> where personalities from the world of art and culture, like Luis Miguel Domingu\u00edn<\/strong> and Ernest Hemingway<\/strong>, often went. At present, these taverns are still an attraction for the Madrile\u00f1os and for the ever increasing number of tourists.<\/p>\n
