4.0 Estacion de Atocha (6.362 reviews)
- A multi-tiered complex
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

The revamped Atocha consists of the old and new stations. We used the very busy new station which is used for all rail routes including high-speed and long distance. Signage and directions could be better - it’s a maze for first timers. The Madrid Metro stops here. Besides trains, the old station has offices, shopping, a leisure complex that includes a tropical garden of 400 species and over 7,000 plants. See more..

4.5 Palacio De Cristal (3.671 reviews)
- Quite charming
Architectural Buildings

It's full with nature and the architecture of the palace is so beautiful!! It’s really a tall building. There were ducks and turtles in the lake next to the mirror's palace, and also what it seemed to be a beautiful black swan. I recommend going early in the morning around 8-9am since it's not crowded yet so that you can appreciate the sounds of nature around it! See more..

4.5 Museo Cerralbo (2.185 reviews)
- Great little museum
Wednesday: 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Art Museums

A small but very interesting museum. A surprising place. From the outside, a classicist building from the end of the 19th century. Built and used as the home of the Marquis de Cerralbo. Currently an art museum. Perfectly preserved palace with beautiful interiors, kept in perfect condition. Furniture, paintings, lamps, at the same time retain its charm to make it seem like life goes on in the palace. It is worth getting lost in his rooms and transferring to another time. I recommend it especially to people who love art and do not like large crowds. See more..
4.0 Archbishop Palace (94 reviews)
- A STRIKING EXTERIOR
Architectural Buildings • Castles

The Renaissance exterior of the complex speaks of the wealth and power of the city’s Toledo archbishops. The grounds take up the northwest corner of the historic core. Built in the 13th century, it has seen several noteworthy events, including the birth of Catherine of Aragon [1485] and the first meeting place of Christopher Columbus and the Catholic kings [1486]. Once reputedly one of the best Renaissance palaces in all of Europe, it went into decline when the capital of Spain was moved to Madrid in 1561. Much work had to be done after a catastrophic fire in 1939. There is some parking on site. See more..

4.0 Belén navideño de San Lorenzo de El Escorial (72 reviews)
- Life sized nativity scenes.
Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Historic Walking Areas • Architectural Buildings

Truly impressed by the biblical villages and scenes we came across all over town before Christmas. Tremendous effort by the locals who organize this and they are to be applauded. Where else would you run into a loaded camel train complete with drivers, shepherds with their flocks, Roman legionnaires, families planting veggies or harvesting olives? A delight for children of every age! See more..

Renovated a few years ago, this church is quiet and peaceful. I particularly like the statue of the virgin on the left. See if you can find the two angels with black faces behind the altar.

4.5 Palacio de los Borbones (13 reviews)
- El gusto afrancesado de la Corona.
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

Con la llegada de la dinastía Borbón, el Monasterio tenía un aspecto muy austero. De esta forma se adornan las habitaciones con muebles, relojes y lámparas de arañas y sobre todo se recubren sus paredes de tapices de autores como: Goya, Bayeu, Castillo y Teniers. See more..
3.0 Casa-Palacio del Canto del Pico (8 reviews)
- Curioso
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

Hay que ir hasta el mirador de Torrelodones y desde ahí es fácil de llegar, con buen calzado. Es una pena el estado de abandono y la cantidad de gente que va y entra en la casa para seguir deteriorando el patrimonio. @ayuntamientodetorrelodones no hace nada al igual que el @ayuntamiento_de_madrid See more..
5.0 Patio De Los Reyes (7 reviews)
- Hermoso Patio
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

Siempre que he visitado el Monasterio de San Lorenzo del Escorial, he echado en falta una reseña específica del Patio de los Reyes, creo que se la merece entre todas las partes integrantes del Real Monasterio.
El patio ocupa el eje central de simetría, la línea que define el carácter del edificio, la recta que une biblioteca, altar, panteón y trono.
Todos los patios son cuadrados, a excepción de de los Reyes que es prácticamente un rectángulo áureo.
Los Reyes que dominan el patio son los constructores del templo de la sabiduría. Presiden a un lado David y Salomón y en el extremo derecho Manasses que lleva los atributos geométricos del arquitecto: escuadra y compás.
Los otros Reyes son: Ezequías, Josafat, Josías, todos reyes del Antiguo Testamento que intervinieron en la construcción del Templo de Jerusalén.
Un patio para admirar y contemplar, sobrio, elegante, espectacular... See more..

- Un bonito palacete de estilo neoclásico.
Architectural Buildings

La preciosa Casita del Labrador, se encuentra ubicada en un extremo del hermosísimo Jardín del Príncipe, en un entorno tranquilo repleto de árboles, plantas y flores, que invita al relax, al descanso y, al paseo.
Se trata de un atractivo palacete, de estilo neoclásico, de planta cuadrada y con patio central, construído sobre la base de una casa de labranza, por orden de Carlos IV, como lugar de recreo.
El interior del palacete, está ricamente decorado, es un verdadero museo de arte y riqueza.

5.0 Palacio De Los Austrias (5 reviews)
- Excelente Palacio.
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

En la fachada oriental se encuentran las estancias de la dinastía de los Austrias. El Palacio se articula en torno al Patio de Mascarones.
Las habitaciones del rey, Felipe II, podía seguir los oficios religiosos de la Basílica desde su oratorio. Mas sobrio que sus predecesores los Borbones, reúnen una gran colección de arte sobre todo de pintura. Cabe destacar las puertas de marquetería que dan a la sala anterior a la habitación del rey. Una maravillosa obra de arte. See more..

- Precioso y una verdadera rareza
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Se creo como una proeza de la industria española del S XVIII promocionada por el monarca ilustrado Carlos III y todavía asombra actualmente. Es curioso y sorprendente entrar en una habitación donde todas las paredes y techo están forradas de placas de cerámica esculpidas y esmaltadas. No hay otro igual ni en dimensiones ni en complejidad en España y no se si en Europa.

Es un conjunto insólito que por si solo justifica la visita al Palacio See more..
