Madrid de los Austrias - Habsburg Madrid - was a mix of formal planning, at its most impressive in the expansive and theatrical Plaza Mayor, and areas of shanty-town development, knocked up as the new capital gained an urban population. The central area of old Madrid still reflects both characteristics, with its twisting grid of streets, alleyways and steps, and its Flemish-inspired architecture of red brick and grey stone, slate-tiled towers, and Renaissance doorways.
