Fuente de Cibeles and Gran Via

The Fuente de Cibeles (Cybele's Fountain), one of Madrid's most famous structures, is situated at a busy intersection. Roman Goddess Cybele is portrayed in lifelike statues driving a chariot driven by lions. With the intended intention of providing water for public use, Francisco Gutiérrez and Roberto Michel built the fountain in 1782.

The CentroCentro cultural center, which includes art exhibitions and seminars, conferences, and concerts, is located in the Palacio de Cibeles, which is behind the fountain. The Colección Cibeles café and the Restaurante Palacio de Cibeles, an upscale eatery with breathtaking city views, are both located in the Centro Palacio de Cibeles. The eighth-floor Mirador observation platform offers magnificent views for guests to take in.

The Gran Va, one of Madrid's busiest retail avenues, is close by (via Calle de Alcala). On this busy boulevard, tourists will discover a wide variety of eateries, lodging options, and theaters. The famed Teatro de la Zarzuela, located on Calle de Jovellanos just off the Gran Va, offers ballet performances, classical music concerts, and renowned zarzuela performances, a distinct genre of humorous opera with songs accompanied by traditional Spanish guitar music.
