What to do and see in Salamanca (District), Community of Madrid: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

April 28, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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.

Puerta de Alcala

Reviewed By Homfirth - Holmfirth, United Kingdom

This is considered to be the first modern post-Roman triumphal arch built in Europe even older than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. It was a gate in the former Walls of Felipe IV and stands near the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. Today it is in the centre of a very busy traffic intersection and it’s difficult to take photos because of the continual stream of traffic.
