Madrid - Palacio Uceda

Immediately north of the viaduct, at the corner of the Calle Mayor, is the Palacio Uceda, a 16th C. palace built by a pupil of Herrera which now houses the Capitanía General and the Council of State.

A flight of steps beside the palace leads down to Calle de Segovia and the narrow and irregular streets of the old Moorish quarter, the Morería. On the west side of the Viaduct the Cuesta de los Ciegos descends to the quiet little Plaza Gabriel Miró and the Jardines de las Vistillas.
