The area
Neighborhood: La Latina
La Latina is a charming neighborhood with two unique personalities. At first glance, it’s distinctly old-world, with narrow streets weaving a maze among charming stone buildings in sunny, bright colors like yellow and pink. The other side of La Latina is characterized by a young population and a bohemian vibe, as evidenced by a dynamic and evolving selection of new bars, shops, coworking spaces, and other businesses popping up in the area. In the northern part of the neighborhood, the Cava Alta and Cava Baja streets constitute the tapas center of Madrid, where each age-old restaurant serves up distinctive specialties like huevos rotos and patatas bravas. Locals have come here for generations to while away hours over drinks and tapas with friends. On Sundays and public holidays, the streets to the south of La Latina metro station transform into a giant open-air market full of locals sifting through tent after tent of art, apparel, and antiques. Any day of the week, the intriguing blend of the traditional and the hip make the streets of La Latina worth exploring.

AGRADABLE PLAZA, que se halla localizada dentro del propio barrio de La Latina... en las proximidades del Mercado de San Miguel.

Der Plaza de la Cruz Verde steht im südlichen Teil der historischen Mitte von Madrid in der Nähe der Kathedrale Santa Maria und nur wenige Meter von der Calle Mayor entfernt.
Uns hat der kleine und schnuckelige Platz vom ersten Moment an gefallen. Abseits der üblichen Touristenströme verströmt die Ruhe auf dem Platz eine ansteckende Wirkung.
Alles hat hier noch einen ursprünglichen Charme. Auch der kleine Brunnen am Rande des Platzes hat uns gut gefallen.

De camino hacia el Mercado de San Miguel, pasamos junto a la Plaza de la Cruz Verde... algo más cuidada que en años anteriores -casualidad o causalidad- pero MUY NORMALITA.

Ai tempi della santa inquisizione qui si svolgevano i processi.
Prende nome dalla croce stessa che si nota per il suo colore verde.
Si trova a pochi passi da piazza dela Paja ma tutto sommato potevamo tranquillamente evirare la deviazione.
Allego comunque qualche foto ricordo

El elemento principal de la plaza (si se puede llamar así a pesar de sus dimensiones) es la fuente y a pesar de ello tampoco es algo digno de destacar. En mi opinión para un turista tiene poco o nulo interés.

La encontramos caminando por la calle de Segovia, una cuadra antes del viaducto. Veníamos de la Basílica Pontificia de San Miguel, luego de recorrer el mercado del mismo nombre y el Convento de Las Carboneras. Llegamos a una zona con jardines muy floridos, aterrazados y en bajada. Era la Plaza Verde que tenía un contingente de turistas que nos llamó la atención, por lo que fuimos a ver que había. La plaza está ubicada en el ensanche de la calle de Segovia, donde confluyen las calles del Rollo y de la Villa. Tiene una linda arboleda y flores pero lo más llamativo es una fuente antigua. Esta fuente es la Fuente de Diana Cazadora, también conocida como Fuente de la Cruz Verde. Se inauguró en 1850 para suministrar agua potable, lo que aún hoy sigue haciendo. La estatua es de piedra rodeada de ladrillo visto. Sobre el dintel está la estatua de Diana, diosa de la caza y la naturaleza, vestida con túnica corta. Está realizada en mármol blanco, al igual que los dos delfines mitológicos situados a sus pies. Abajo de ella hay un escudo de Madrid de piedra blanca, y más abajo una lápida con la siguiente inscripción: «Siendo correjidor el Excmo. Sr. Marqués de Sª Cruz. Año de 1850» La parte inferior corresponde a los desagües o piletones rectangulares a donde cae el agua potable que mana por cinco picos de bronce.

Una plaza muy descuidada, en la cuesta ver a gente de bien. No tiene ningun interes turístico. Pero tengo claro una cosa, que UNOS POCOS NO CONSEGUIRAN ENSUCIAR LA BELLEZA DE MADRID.

Es una plaza muy chica, pero parece como si todo estuviese bien puesto.
Hay arboles con sombra, una fuente resultona y bancos para sentarse.
Sitio recomendado para pararse si te adentras a la zona de la Latina y otros barrios colindantes con este sitio

PLAZUELA DE LO MÁS NORMALITA con una pequeña fuente, que vimos tras recorrer la calle Segovia... muy cerquita del Mercado de San Miguel.

Tiene una fuente del Viaje del Bajo Abroñigal, viaje de agua que abasteció a Madrid y que transcurría paralelo a la antigua carretera de Aragón. Abasteció a Madrid desde el siglo XVII hasta 1858, substituido por el Canal de Isabel II. Quitando esta particularidad es pequeña y no demasiada limpia. Salvo que seas un apasionado de las fuentes o los lugares desconocidos, puedes prescindir de ella. Al resto de niveles es irrelevante.
