The City
Madrid is a central capital of Spain, city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks such as the Buen Retiro. It’s prominent for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum’s works by Goya, Velázquez and other Spanish masters. The core of old Hapsburg Madrid is the portico-lined Plaza Mayor, and nearby is the baroque Royal Palace and Armory, displaying historic weaponry.
Madrid is located on the River Manzanares in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula. Capital city of both Spain and the surrounding autonomous community of Madrid, it is also the political, economic and cultural centre of the country. The city is situated on an elevated plain about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the closest seaside location. Seasonal differences are massive by Iberian standards with hot summers and cool winters.
The Madrid urban mass has the second-largest GDP in the European Union and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, environment, media, fashion, science, culture, and the arts all account to its status as one of the world' popular global cities.
Owing to its economic output, high standard of living, and market size, Madrid is considered the major financial centre and the leading economic hub of the Iberian Peninsula and of Southern Europe. The metropolitan area holds major Spanish companies such as Telefónica, Iberia, BBVA and FCC. It concentrates the magnitude of banking operations in the country, and it is the Spanish-speaking city generating the largest amount of webpages.
Madrid accomodates the headquarters of the UN's World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), and the Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB). It also holds major international regulators and promoters of the Spanish language: the Standing Committee of the Association of Spanish Language Academies, headquarters of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), the Institute of Cervantes and the Foundation of Emerging Spanish. Madrid organises fairs such as FITUR, ARCO, SIMO TCIand the Madrid Fashion Week. Madrid is an abode to two world-famous football clubs, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
While Madrid owns modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets. Its landmarks include the Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace of Madrid; the Royal Theatre with its restored 1850 Opera House; the Buen Retiro Park, founded in 1631; the 19th-century National Library building having some of Spain's historical archives; many national museums, and the Golden Triangle of Art, located along the Paseo del Prado and comprising three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, a museum of modern art, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, which complements the holdings of the other two museums. Cibeles Palace and Fountain set off to be one of the monument symbols of the city.
