The city where Europe meets North Africa and where the remnants of the Mediterranean world are synchronized with the elements of life on the fast lane is Madrid. It may not have the traditional Roman origins, or a past that historians can pore over, yet the rural obscurity of Madrid is bound to impress you to the most. This is the largest city of Spain, located inland, and boasts a history spanning the Renaissance to the post-war world. 123New Year is here to stay with all that you need to know about Attractions in Madrid. The best time of the year to visit the place is spring, when it is overrun by tourists, so you might do well to book ahead.
There's everything in Madrid - from the world class art museum, the Prado, to the smaller galleries, shops and gardens. The Plaza Major is where you should start within the principal plaza town. Built in 1619 by Phillip III, the construct is a vast traffic-free portion of 17th century Spain, with the center adorned with the statue of Phillip III. Nine arched gateways lead to this immense square where much of Spanish history was lived. Many were tried here during the Inquisition. A visit to the Archaeological Museum will bring you to 43 rooms stocked with archaeological artifacts along with a replica of the roofs of the caves at Alta Mira.
