- Mercado San Miguel - A historic covered market from around 1916, offering local cuisine, gourmet foods, and events in a sophisticated setting.
- Casa de Cervantes - The former home of the renowned writer Miguel de Cervantes, author of “Don Quijote,” featuring guided tours.
- Casa Museo Lope de Vega - Situated on Cervantes Street, this 16th-century house was owned by one of the great writers of the Spanish Golden Age, Lope de Vega, who lived there from 1610 until his death in 1635.
- Plaza de las Cortes - The Palace of the Spanish Courts was constructed on the site of the former Holy Spirit convent, serving 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 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 - This neoclassical fountain, located at the center of the roundabout in Plaza de Cánovas del Castillo, Madrid, was proposed in 1777 and completed in 1786.
- Prado National Museum - Exceptionally rich in European master paintings 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.”
The museum’s main draw is its extensive collection of works by Velázquez, El Greco, Goya (the most represented artist), Tiziano, Rubens, and El Bosco, among others. It also features significant collections from artists like Murillo, Ribera, Zurbarán, Fra Angelico, Rafael, Veronese, Tintoretto, Patinir, Antonio Moro, Van Dyck, and Poussin.
- Jeronimos - Officially known as the Parish Church of San Jerónimo el Real, it is popularly called “Los Jerónimos.” Located behind the Prado Museum, it is a late Gothic structure with Renaissance influences from the early 16th century. Although little of the original building remains, it has been remodeled and restored over the centuries.
Its name reflects its special connection with the Spanish monarchy, having been built by order of the Catholic Monarchs and serving as a spiritual retreat for several monarchs. It has also hosted royal investitures and the wedding of Alfonso XIII, for which the grand staircase leading to its door was constructed in 1906.
- Puerta de Alcala - This monumental gate, commissioned by Carlos III to replace an earlier 16th-century one, 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, preceding others like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and 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) being simpler and featuring the four virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude. The exterior, adorned with the royal shield and more elaborate decorations, was what greeted those entering Madrid.
It is named for its location next to the road leading to Alcalá de Henares.
- Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas - Las Ventas bullring in Madrid is the largest bullfighting arena in Spain. With a capacity of 23,798 spectators, it is the third largest in the world, following those in Mexico and Valencia (Venezuela). It is also the second largest in terms of ring diameter, measuring 61.5 meters, after the one in Ronda.
- Barrio de Salamanca - The tour includes a visit to the main streets of Barrio Salamanca: Velázquez, Ortega y Gasset, and Serrano.
- Santiago Bernabeu Stadium - Inaugurated on December 14, 1947, it currently accommodates 81,044 spectators.
- Paseo de la Castellana - The tour will proceed from the Salamanca District to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium along the Paseo de la Castellana.
- Plaza Colon - The Christopher Columbus monument stands at the center of the fountain around which traffic circulates. This neo-Gothic white marble sculpture, along with its impressive stone-carved pedestal, measures 17 meters and was created in 1885 by JerĂłnimo Suñol to commemorate the wedding of Alfonso XII and MarĂa de las Mercedes de Orleans.
The square also features the Gardens of Discovery, a park opened in 1970, showcasing various sculptures, including a monument dedicated to the discovery of America.
Beneath the square is the Cultural Center of the Villa Fernán Gómez.
- Biblioteca Nacional de Espana - The National Library of Spain (BNE) is an autonomous institution responsible for preserving Spain’s bibliographic and documentary heritage. It collects, catalogs, and conserves around thirty million publications produced in Spain since the 18th century, including books, magazines, maps, prints, drawings, scores, and brochures.
The library’s collections, operations, and history are showcased through the Museum and Exhibition Halls.
- 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 Madrid City Council), and Banco de España.
The fountain depicts the Roman goddess Cibeles, symbolizing land, agriculture, and fertility, riding a chariot pulled by two lions, the mythological figures Hipomenes and Atalanta. The goddess and lions are carved 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 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 role, including the exclusive issuance of currency for all of Spain.
The building’s interior can only be visited by educational and university groups, and occasionally by non-profit cultural and associative entities.
- Plaza de Santa Ana - Located in the Cortes neighborhood, in Madrid’s Centro district, Plaza de Santa Ana is an open space dating back to 1810. Over the years, it has undergone numerous urbanization changes, altering its appearance in various ways.
- Real Basilica de San Francisco el Grande - Officially the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels, this Catholic church is located in Madrid’s Palacio neighborhood, within the historic center of Spain’s capital.
- Museo de la Catedral de la Almudena - The Almudena Cathedral is Madrid’s most significant religious building. It was consecrated by Pope John Paul II on June 15, 1993, becoming the first cathedral outside Rome to be consecrated.
The Almudena Cathedral Museum houses numerous objects that narrate the history of the Madrid diocese. Its twelve rooms display items ranging from mosaics to episcopal shields and ornaments.
- Royal Palace of Madrid - Currently 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 took seventeen years to complete. 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 to the west, dating from the Middle Ages, and the Sabatini gardens to the north, created in the 20th century. The Campo del Moro is open to visitors during the day.
- Jardines de Sabatini - The Sabatini gardens are situated in front of the north facade of the Royal Palace of Madrid, between Bailén Street and the San Vicente slope, covering an area of 2.66 hectares.
- Templo de Debod - The Debod Temple is an ancient Egyptian structure now located in Madrid, Spain. It is situated west of Plaza de España, near Paseo del Pintor Rosales, on a hill where the Mountain Barracks once stood.
