Area Attractions

Puerta del Sol

This 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 Prado

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.

Museo Nacional Centro d Arte Reina Sofia

This modern building, featuring interesting expositions since 1993, completes the "Arts Triangle" of the Prado museum.

Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza

This museum, inaugurated in 1993, hosts one of the most important private art collections.

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.
