Things to do in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Ancient Ruins
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

This place is temporarily closed due to technical problems. The Egyptian temple dating back to the second century B.C. was transported to Madrid’s Cuartel de la Montana Park.

Closed at the moment of my visit this is the hidden treasure in the “Parque del Oeste” next to the royal palace. The Spanish name is “Templo de Debod” and it’s a real ancient Egyptian temple that was dismantled and rebuilt in Madrid as a token of gratitude for the help that Spain provided in saving the Abu Simbel temples. So if you are in Madrid this is a must see! Ah and if you get on the terrace next to it you will see all the Parc “Casa de Campo”!
