Madrid, Villa y Corte. Calles y plazas, es un libro imprescindible para aproximarse a la historia, el urbanismo, la arquitectura y hasta a los sucesos ocurridos en los principales ejes y recintos urbanos madrileños desde su formación hasta hoy. A ellos se suma la historia y desarrollo de los monasterios reales, puertas, puentes, mercados y estaciones cuya construcción impulsó de forma determinante el crecimiento de la capital. El conocimiento de esta evolución se ve enriquecido con el de los personajes e instituciones que eligieron estos enclaves para vivir o desarrollar su actividad. El resultado es un relato ameno en el que el lector puede descubrir el proceso seguido por Madrid desde que fue amurallada por los árabes en el siglo IX hasta estos primeros años del siglo XXI.
