Perhaps 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.

Plaza de Oriente

This 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 Alcala

The Door of Alcala is a beautiful triumphal arch made by Francisco Sabatini in 1778, after the arrival in Madrid of King Charles III.
