About Madrid
Medieval Madrid
Magerit: “land rich in water.” This is what the Arabs
called this area on the central plain of the Iberian Peninsula, close to Sierra
de Guadarrama, where King Phillip II of Spain would establish the royal court.
Later, it grew into the city that it is today.
Madrid and the
Hapsburg Monarchy
Throughout the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, Madrid was the capital of a huge empire. However, the
buildings and landmarks didn’t truly reflect the city’s standing. The churches
and palaces were built in a simple style that had little in common with
ostentatious courts elsewhere in Europe. Austerity was the second name
of the Hapsburg dynasty (or Austrias, as they were called in Spanish).
Madrid and the Bourbon Kings
From Philip V (1701), the first Bourbon, a comprehensive urban development plan was developed to adapt Madrid to the taste of European royal courts. The Bourbons built fountains, gardens, triumphal arches, and the new Royal Palace, all of which helped change the appearance of the city.
Modern Madrid: La Movida
In the early 1980s, the Malasaña district witnessed the birth of the movida madrileña, the underground movement that changed Madrid’s image forever.
The Prado Museum, 1819–2019: The Bicentenary of the Museo del Prado

“A place of memory”
The Museo del Prado opened to the public on November 19, 1819, as a Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture. In 2019, it celebrates its bicentenary, a commemoration that will reveal the path covered since 1819 until today.
The Prado Museum is the crown jewel of one of the capital’s most visited tourist itineraries: the Paseo del Arte (Art Walk). Its walls are lined with masterpieces from the Spanish, Italian, and Flemish schools, including Velázquez’s Las Meninas and Goya’s Third of May, 1808. Its collection comprises 8,600 paintings and over 700 sculptures, so we recommend you decide what you want to see before stepping into the museum.
Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum

https://www.esmadrid.com/en/tourist-information/thyssen-bornemisza-national-museum
Located on the Art Walk, this museum’s collection traces the history of European painting from the Middle Ages through to the late twentieth century.
Given the wealth and variety of its treasures—more than a thousand works of art—you should start your visit in the section that most interests you. Italian primitives, the German Renaissance, nineteenth-century American art, Impressionism, German Expressionism, and Russian Constructivism are the most widely represented schools and movements in the museum.
Reina Sofía Museum

Located on the Art Walk, the Reina Sofía houses works by Dalí, Miró, and Juan Gris as well as Picasso’s masterpiece, Guernica.
The Royal Palace
https://www.esmadrid.com/en/tourist-information/royal-palace
Home to the Kings of Spain from Charles III to Alfonso XIII, Madrid’s Royal Palace takes us on a journey through the history of Spain. Though it is no longer the royal family’s home, it continues to be their official residence.
The construction of the palace that stands today was ordered by the King Philip V after a fire burnt the Palace of Austrias, a fourteenth-century fortress, in 1734.
It comprises over 3,000 rooms, including the Main Staircase, designed by Sabatini with over 70 steps; the Throne Hall, featuring a ceiling painted by Tiepolo; the Hall of Halberdiers, which Charles III turned into the Guards Room; the Gasparini Room, with its grand eighteenth-century decoration on a floral theme; the Royal Chemist’s, with natural medicine cabinets, ceramic pots made by the La Granja factory, and even prescriptions given to members of the royal family; and the Royal Chapel, which is home to a collection of string instruments made by the legendary Antonio Stradivari.
The Royal Armoury is one of the most significant collections of its kind, housing weapons and armor worn by the kings of Spain and other members of the royal family since the thirteenth century.
The Painting Gallery is home to a large number of artistic treasures, including Virgin with Child, by Luis Morales; Portrait of Isabella the Catholic, by Juan de Flandes; Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, by Caravaggio; and works by such artists as Velázquez, Goya, Federico Madrazo, and Sorolla.
The Royal Kitchen reopened in October 2017 after a major renovation: the palace’s splendid “Real Cocina” are the oldest well-preserved kitchens of a European royal residence, notable for their size and the excellent state of their accessories.
