The kingdom of the Habsburgs, to show off their powerful empire and wealth, had to invest to develop and transform the city with a great variety of buildings and infrastructures, such as the iconic Plaza Mayor and the Puerta del Sol, which became the geographical centre of Spain. The aristocracy also built their mansions in this area, which became really rich in terms of architecture, ranging from the late Renaissance through the early Baroque.
The works were culminated in the 18th century with the construction of the Royal Palace, which is a magnificent architectural masterpiece with an impressive inside decoration full of frescos, tapestries, etc. So, today, along this tour, you will be travelling back to the Golden age of Madrid and its magnificent buildings.
