Madrid is a large multicultural space, well known for its open hospitality, enjoyable lifestyle, and cultural diversity. It was Phillip II who moved the Court to Madrid, in 1561, turning the city into the equivalent of the Capital of Spain. He also commissioned the building of a series of palaces and official sites that have enriched the architectural and monumental landscape of the city. But Madrid has also benefited from previous cultures, including Moorish, Iberian and Roman, that left their cultural heritage. In addition, the history of our city was later shaped by the progressive thinking and artistic production of the Renaissance, Neoclassic, Modernist and Contemporary eras. As a result, during your stay you could start a walk at a Moorish wall and finish at the challenging Jean Nouvel´s Reina Sofía Museum of Contemporary Art. Or you could enjoy the paintings of Goya and Velázquez in Museo del Prado, and after a short walk to Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza finish your tour with the art of Picasso and Miró.
