I think that in madrid during the middle ages the society was divided in several groups such as:

Nobles:they were rich families with political power, they builded huge residences in order to show his power, such as the Tower of the Lujanes.

Clergy:they were very important because in Madrid during modern age, the religion was a very significant charactreistic of the spanish king.In Madrid they build a llot of churchs,convents and monasteries,to show the peope tje power of the catholic church, and th increase the number of believers in Madrid.

Peasants:they were the principal group in Madrid.they work as ,merchants or craftmanships.The most rich and powerful people try to impresoned that peasants by designing and building huge buidings,such as churchs,palaces or nobles residences.

Bourgeoisie:they were peasants that achieve a lot of power.Most of them were merchants and bankers.To show the people that they have the same power than the nobles and the clergy,they build big and impresive buildings.

The king:he was the absolute power,and to show this he made public acts.He also builded buildings bigger than the nobles,clergu and bourgeoisie tp show that they have more monrey and more political power, for example the royal Alcazar.

In the 16 and 17 century reluigion plays a very important role in Eurpoe and much more in Spain,because it was one of the most important defenders of catholicism.to show this to people of other countries and religions,the kings builded a large amount of churches,convents and ohter reliogious buildings all along the spanish geography.

But the kings and the other powerful people such as nobles or bourgeoisie,apart of the strict religious materes, the builded the churchs as a symbol of power and status, because a noble who have build a large church, for example,show the other people that he have more mooney and power that other noble who only have a samll church in his residence.

Another reason to build that big churches,was to have good relationships with the catholic church,because if the catholic church get angry, thhey can excomunicate the noble.this means that the peasants were not obliges to serve him and the noble lost his power
