Plaza de Cibeles

A trip to Madrid wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Plaza de Cibeles, a legendary square that has become a symbol for the city itself.

While a complex neo-classical arrangement of marble sculptures, fountains and lights make up the plaza’s centre, the Cibeles Palace is certainly the main event. Visitors flock to the Plaza de Cibeles at all hours of the day to glimpse a sight of its famous architecture and walk the emblematic grounds.

If you’re lucky enough to visit after a Real Madrid victory, you’ll likely see fans gathering around the Cibeles fountain in celebration.
