The Plaza Mayor adds a bit of laziness to the bustling Puerta del Sol. When I walk into this square "complex" from Madrid's old neighborhood, I immediately feel a unique atmosphere! The square has 9 arches connecting the outer streets.

We stopped by on the way to the Temple of Debod. There are statues of Cervantes and his work Don Quixote. In the evening, there is a small market in the square next to it. In front is a large street garden, which is nice for a stroll.

The site of the Puerta del Sol, originally a gate facing the east on the 15th century Madrid wall, was named after the upper floor decorated with the pattern of the rising sun; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570. The square, which was built, retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city. From the aerial aerial view, the 10 streets and alleys are radiant, like the rising sun and shining. In the center of the square, oval fountains on both sides of the east and west, surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the C position. The king, who built Madrid's vast infrastructure and was admired by the people of Madrid, rode a high-headed horse and sat smilingly watching the wind and clouds of the square and the changes of the city. On the south side is the most classic building in the square - the Security Bureau Building. The building built from 1766 to 1768 (the bell tower was built in 1867), the simple and bright style, the red and white facade, conveying the atmosphere of neoclassical palace architecture. The building was originally the central post office in Madrid, later the headquarters of the Franco-era Ministry of National Security, and is now the government office building in Madrid. For quite a while, the Spanish people loved the clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, and regarded the clock as Spanish standard time, and it was honored to come here to watch. Today, people gather in the square to listen to the New Year bells of the building. On the north side, four slightly curved buildings lined up all the way, with stylish facades and white crystals; The top of the building is towering "TIO PEPE" (the world's first brand of sherry) advertising, exaggerated with elegance, cute cute. The ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building is embedded with the road zero kilometers logo. Semicircular logo engraved with maps of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, road starting point". Spanish roads calculate miles from this point, Madrid streets prepare house numbers from this point. Without a shadow, the shoes underfoot have not set foot in Madrid.

Gran Vía is a luxury shopping street in New Delhi, Spain. There are many luxury stores on this street, and there are many categories. Some well-known big brands may be found here. In addition to some commodity stores, this place is also famous for its architectural style. The architectural style is very distinctive and looks very solemn.

The municipal square in the center of Madrid is small in size and has a good view. The municipal square was built in 1644 and surrounded by 6 buildings, of which 3 are not small: the largest building is the Baroque-style town hall building on the west side, built in 1644-1696. The building was built until the beginning of the 20th century and was the seat of Madrid's City Hall (the square is also named) and a prison. The left door of the building leads to the prison, and the right door leads to the city hall. The oldest building is the Gothic-Mudhar-style Luhanta on the east side, built in the 15th century. The house of Sisneros on the south side, built in the 16th century. The square is in the middle, with colorful flower beds in squares; The flower bed stands a statue of Bassan, a brave and wary admiral during King Felipe II, who was placed here in 1980.

The Gate of Europe is a pair of twin office buildings that lean inwards, standing majestically on the Avenida de Castilla that runs through Madrid from north to south. A sculpture and a copper core column are placed in the square between the twin towers. The building was designed by an American architect and built between 1990 and 1996. The two buildings, 114 meters high and 26 stories high, lean inwards at an angle of 15 degrees, making it the world's first group of leaning skyscrapers. It is like an open archway, swallowing and spitting out a constant stream of vehicles, magnificent and imposing.

The only way to Toledo is one of the most beautiful sunsets in Spain. It was built in the thirteenth century. There are two defense towers at the bridge head, which belong to Gothic style. Two defense towers at the bridge head belong to Gothic style. We walked on the bridge, full of beautiful scenery on all sides, not enough to take pictures.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is surrounded by many city sculptures in the middle and alleys of the square. The most influential and affinity is the statue of the "Bear and Raspberry" in Puerta del Sol. In January 1967, a famous Spanish artist made a large bronze statue of "bear and raspberry" nearly 4 meters high and weighing 2 tons, placed in the Plaza del Sol in the center of Madrid, which became the most iconic landscape sculpture, popular with citizens and tourists. On the 50th anniversary of the statue's completion in 2017, the words "Madrid 1967-2017" and "50 years in the sun" were engraved on both sides of the granite base. Entering the Puerta del Sol, with the crowds shoulder to shoulder coming to the sculpture at the eastern end of the square. A fat bear climbs a lush tree, with upright hind legs, front paws holding the tree, solid body, cute look, dark hair color, bodybuilding muscles, lively, lifelike...
