Area Attractions
El Madrid de los Austrias"Madrid de los Austrias" is the name of a zone of Madrid referring the Habsburgo Age. Here you can find buildings and monuments dating back to the renaissance and baroque period such as Puerta del Sol, Plaza de las Descalzas Reales, the area of Las Cavas, Plaza Mayor and Plaza de la Villa, with buildings dating back to different periods.
Puerta del SolThis door was, in 15th century, the main entrance to Madrid. Today Puerta del Sol and the square, Plaza del Sol (redesigned between 1859 and 1868), are the very centre of the city. The monumental clock and the statue of the bear and the strawberry tree (el oso y el madrono) are the symbols of Madrid.
Museo del PradoPerhaps the most beautiful neoclassic building of all Madrid. Built in 1785, it was intended to be a museum of natural history. Having been used as an arsenal during the wars against Napoleon, it became Madrid's Museum of art in 1819. Certainly it hosts one of the most important collections of paintings worldwide, with special rooms for masters like Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, Zurbaran, Murillo and Tiziano, as well as for representants of the Dutch school.
Museo Nacional Centro D Arte Reina SofiaThis modern building, featuring interesting expositions since 1993, completes the "Arts Triangle" of the Prado museum.
Museo Thyssen-BornemiszaThis museum, inaugurated in 1993, hosts one of the most important private art collections.
Plaza de OrienteThis square, east of the Royal Palace, was designed at the time of Joseph Bonaparte, who took over the government after the victory of his brother Napoleon against Spain. The French wanted to build a wide boulevard in the style of the Champs Elysees in Paris, but the project was never completed.
Puerta de AlcalaThe Door of Alcala is a beautiful triumphal arch made by Francisco Sabatini in 1778, after the arrival in Madrid of King Charles III.
Plaza y fuente de Las CibelesThis beautiful fountain, built on a project by Ventura Rodriguez, is considered as one of the most representative monuments of Madrid.
