Royal Palace of Madrid
团团子的旅游日记This moment I fell in love with Madrid, the sunset of Madrid accompanied by a rainbow, dyed the whole sky pink, no matter who, in this moment, will feel the beauty of the journey, love the city.
Puerta del Sol
旅旅の径The Puerta del Sol was originally built on the wall of Madrid in the 15th century, facing east. The gate tower was decorated with a rising sun pattern, hence the name; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570.
The square that was built retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city.
From a bird's eye view, with the 12,000 square meters of semicircular square as the center, 10 streets and alleys spread out radially, like the rising sun, shining brightly.
In the center of the square, the oval fountains on the east and west sides are surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the center. This king who presided over the construction of a large number of Madrid's infrastructure and was highly respected by the people of Madrid, rode a tall horse, smiled and watched the square and the city's changes.
On the south side is the most classic building in the square-the Security Bureau Building. The building was built between 1766 and 1768 (the bell tower was added in 1867). Its simple and bright style and red and white facade convey the mood of neoclassical palace-style architecture.
The building was originally the central post office of Madrid, and later the headquarters of the Ministry of National Security during the Franco period. It is now the office building of the Madrid government.
For a long time, the Spanish people loved the big clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, regarded the time of this big clock as the Spanish standard time, and regarded it as an honor to come here to check the clock. To this day, every time when the old year is about to end and the new year is about to begin, people still gather in the square to listen to the ringing of the New Year's bell in the building.
On the north side, four slightly arc-shaped buildings are lined up along the way, with fashionable facades and crystal white; on the roof in the middle is a "TIO PEPE" (Tio Pepe, the world's number one brand of sherry wine) advertisement, which is exaggerated and elegant, and cute.
On the ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building, there is a sign of the zero kilometer of the highway. The semicircular sign is inlaid with a map of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, starting point of the road". The mileage of Spanish roads is calculated from this point, and the street numbers in Madrid are compiled from this point.
If you don't leave a photo, it's like your shoes have never set foot in Madrid.
Prado Museum
AAnonymous UserLeaving the Prado Museum in Madrid, I remembered a sentence that must be written in a small composition after the spring tour: I reluctantly went home. Here, the Goya feast, the perspective of painting in the Palace of Velazquez, I realized the muscle strength of Caravaggio when he fought. Museum security is strictly not allowed to bring food and drinks in. If you bring it, you can store it. The museum has a coffee light restaurant.
Plaza de Espana
鲁鲁林外事A must-visit place in Madrid, with statues of Cervantes and Don Quixote standing here. It is also close to the Royal Palace of Madrid and Puerta del Sol. On the hill to the west is the Temple of Debod, which was donated by Egypt to Spain. From the hill, you can not only see the Royal Palace from a distance, but also overlook Madrid.
El Retiro Park
1118***86The park is large and shaded by trees. It feels quite nice to walk around and stop whenever you have time. The Crystal Palace and the small lake in front are pleasant, and there are swans, ducks and pigeons playing around, creating a peaceful atmosphere. There are also free art exhibitions to see, which is worth mentioning.
Las Ventas Bullring
WWestSoftHow can I put it! If you can accept this kind of culture, you must come. If you think it is too cruel, don't come and see it, don't make yourself unhappy! It is really bloody and cruel, and it hurts your butt! There are mats for rent at the door, 3 euros per show
Gran Via
徐徐徐霞客RrGran Vía is a luxury shopping street in New Delhi, Spain. There are many luxury stores on this street, and there are many categories. Some well-known big brands may be found here. In addition to some commodity stores, this place is also famous for its architectural style. The architectural style is very distinctive and looks very solemn.
Plaza Mayor
Xxiaohei5678Compared with the bustling Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor adds a sense of laziness. When I walked into this square "courtyard" from the ancient neighborhood of Madrid, I immediately felt a unique atmosphere! There are 9 arches in the square connecting the surrounding streets and alleys.
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
AAnonymous UserIt's just across the street from the Prado Museum. It's really worth a visit. There are many paintings, especially many classic modern works worth seeing. It's best to remember to buy tickets in advance, or at least pay attention to the opening hours in advance to avoid missing out.
