One of the most interesting places to see in Madrid is the Royal Palace. It can be found in the formal gardens where there was once a fortress of Moorish origin which burned down in 1734. Tickets to go inside of the palace cost around 7€.
There is a small supplement if you want to be guided round. There are many rooms to be seen including the throne room and the Royal Farmacia. Across the courtyard you will find the Royal Armory with an impressive display of armor; this is included in the tour price. There is also a large gift shop.
Outside the palace are wonderful gardens with many statues of past royals. Close by is the Cathedral of the Almudena, currently being restored.
The Plaza Mayor is a huge square constructed in 1617. It has been pedestrianised and can be entered by any one of nine arches. The famous square has played host to bullfights, fiestas and even public executions. From time to time, events such as concerts and fiestas are still staged here. The square contains 136 houses with 437 balconies from which people used to watch the events held here. The square has always been a popular meeting place, especially on Sundays when the many bars and restaurants complement the weekly stamp and coin fair.
In the centre of the square stands the statue of Philip III on horseback. Constructed in 1616 by the Italian sculptors Giovanni de Bologna and his apprentice Pietro Tacca, the statue was placed in the square in 1847 after the wedding celebrations of Isabel II, during which the last bull run was held.
