Situated at the crossroads of three of the city’s major districts – Centro, Retiro, and Salamanca, Plaza de Cibeles is a symbol of Madrid and the setting of such notable attractions as the legendary Cibeles Fountain, the outstanding Cybele Palace, also known as the Palace of Communication, the beautiful Bank of Spain, the Linares Palace, and the Buenavista Palace. The Cybele Fountain depicts the Roman goddess of fertility – Cybele (Ceres) – with a scepter and a key in her hands, standing in a large chariot pulled by two lions. It is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and a symbol of Spanish football, extremely popular among Real Madrid’s fans who flock to the fountain every time their team wins an important match. Sometimes, even the players themselves are joining the fans in their celebration. To know what to see and do in Madrid, you are free to DM me!
