Article by Josemi Lorenzo Arribas in the magazine Historia National Geographic on the Planimetría General de Madrid of 1750, which served as the basis for the great street plan drawn up by Antonio Espinosa de los Monteros in 1769. Based on the census of 1751, Carlos III ordered that a white tile with its corresponding number be placed on the corners of every block and another on each house with its number, which was the first system for numbering the streets of Madrid.
