• Mercado San Miguel - Originally opened in May 1916 as a food market, this historic venue transformed into Madrid’s first gastronomic market in May 2009. In 2018, the market solidified its culinary offerings, featuring renowned chefs from both national and international backgrounds.
• Atocha - Atocha station is a major railway complex located near Plaza del Emperador Carlos V in Madrid, Spain. It serves as a central railway hub, making it the busiest station in the country and one of the key stations in Europe.
• Plaza de las Cortes - The Palace of the Spanish Courts was constructed on the site of the former Holy Spirit convent, which served as the Congress seat between 1834 and 1841.

The main facade features a staircase leading to a neoclassical porch with six grand striated Corinthian columns, topped by a triangular pediment adorned with Ponciano Ponzano’s reliefs. The iconic lions flanking the entrance, crafted by the same sculptor, were cast from cannons captured during the African war. The intricately designed bronze door beneath the pediment opens only on special occasions.

Among the building’s symmetrical rooms, the renowned Session room stands out, along with the library and the Conference room, also known as the “lost steps” room.

• Fuente de Neptuno - Both gods hold significant positions in Greek mythology and are rivals in sports, as Atlético de Madrid fans celebrate their victories at the sea god’s square, while Real Madrid fans do so at Cibeles.

As part of Ventura Rodríguez’s original project, both fountains initially faced each other on Paseo del Prado. Cibeles and Neptune underwent restructuring and relocation at the end of the 19th century, eventually occupying the centers of Cibeles and Cánovas del Castillo squares, respectively.

• Prado National Museum - Exceptionally rich in paintings by European masters from the 16th to the 19th centuries, art historian and hispanist Jonathan Brown states, “few would dare to doubt that it is the most important museum in the world for European painting.”

Its main attraction is the extensive collection of works by Velázquez, El Greco, Goya (the most represented artist in the museum), Tiziano, Rubens, and El Bosco, offering the best and most comprehensive collections worldwide. Additionally, it features outstanding works by artists such as Murillo, Ribera, Zurbarán, Fra Angelico, Rafael, Veronese, Tintoretto, Patinir, Antonio Moro, Van Dyck, and Poussin, among others.

• Jeronimos - Commonly known as “Los Jerónimos,” its official name is the Parish Church of San Jerónimo el Real. Located behind the Prado Museum, it showcases late Gothic architecture with Renaissance influences from the early 16th century. Although little remains of the original structure, it has been remodeled and restored numerous times over the centuries.

Its name reflects its special connection with the Spanish monarchy, as it was commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs and served as a spiritual retreat for several monarchs throughout history. Additionally, it has been the site of royal investitures in the absence of a cathedral, and the wedding of Alfonso XIII took place here, leading to the construction of the grand staircase in 1906.

• Puerta de Alcala - This monumental gate, commissioned by Carlos III to replace an earlier one from the 16th century, was inaugurated in 1778.

Designed by Francesco Sabatini, it is a neoclassical granite triumphal arch, the first built in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, serving as a precursor to others like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris or the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Unlike the Puerta de Toledo or San Vicente, it features five openings instead of the usual three.

The two facades display different decorations, with the inner face (initially facing the city) featuring the four virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude, while the exterior, adorned with the royal shield and more elaborate decorations, was visible to those entering Madrid.

It is named for its location next to the road leading to Alcalá de Henares.

• Cibeles Fountain - Surrounded by the Palacio de Buenavista (Army Headquarters), Palacio de Linares (Casa de América), Palacio de Comunicaciones (formerly the Post Office headquarters and now the City Council of Madrid), and Banco de España.

The fountain depicts the Roman goddess Cibeles, symbolizing the earth, agriculture, and fertility, riding a chariot pulled by two lions, the mythological figures Hipomenes and Atalanta. The goddess and lions were sculpted in marble, while the rest is in stone. The sculpture of the goddess is by Francisco Gutiérrez, and the lions were sculpted by French artist Roberto Michel.

The goddess is an icon for Real Madrid football fans, as the team’s victories, as well as those of the Spanish national soccer team, are celebrated here.

• Banco de Espana - A decorative masterpiece, awarded at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1884. The building was constructed to provide the National Bank with a headquarters befitting its significant functions, such as the exclusive issuance of coins and bills for all of Spain.

The building’s interior is accessible only to groups from educational institutions and universities, and exceptionally, to non-profit cultural and associative entities.

• Plaza de Santa Ana - Plaza de Santa Ana is an open space in the Cortes neighborhood, within Madrid’s Centro district. Dating back to 1810, it has undergone numerous urbanization changes over the years, altering its appearance with varying degrees of success.
• Museo de la Catedral de la Almudena - The Almudena Cathedral is Madrid’s most significant religious building. On June 15, 1993, it was consecrated by Pope John Paul II, becoming the first cathedral outside Rome to be consecrated.

The Almudena Cathedral Museum houses numerous objects that narrate the history of the Madrid diocese. In its twelve rooms, visitors can view mosaics, episcopal shields, and ornaments.

• Royal Palace of Madrid - Currently, the palace is used exclusively for receptions, ceremonies, and official events, as the Spanish royal family resides in the Palacio de la Zarzuela. The Royal Palace is also known as the Palacio de Oriente.

Construction of the Royal Palace began in 1738 and lasted seventeen years. Shortly after its completion in 1764, Carlos III made it his residence. The palace is located on the site of the former Palace of the Austrias, which was destroyed by a fire on Christmas Eve in 1734.

The Palacio de Oriente is surrounded by the Campo del Moro gardens and the Sabatini gardens. The former, to the west, dates back to the Middle Ages, while the latter, created in the 20th century, is located to the north. The Campo del Moro is open to visitors during the day.
