The first name of the square was "Square of Arrabal", after receiving many names, finally the name of this square is Main Square.The House of Bakery is the most important building and it was the first to start to built.
The Shield of Arms of Charles II is in the House of Bakery. It is formed by the arms of Castile and León, the arms of Aragón and Sicily, the arms of Austria and the Modern Burgundy, the arms of Old Burgundy and Brabant, the arms of Flandes and Tirol and in the center the symbol of Granada.

You have to add the sources you've used if you want to pass: the sources of the content and the sources of the pictures as well.
Your project is very poor. You don't say anything about the Baroque features of this work and your grammar is also poor. Every sentence in English has to have a subject. These are my corrections:
