THE CIBELES
The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection ofCalle de Alcalá (running from east to west), Paseo de Recoletos (to the North) and Paseo del Prado (to the south). Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Councilnamed it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.
It is currently delimited by four prominent buildings: The Bank of Spain, the Palacio de Buenavista, the Palacio deLinares and the Palacio de Cibeles. These constructions are located in four different neighbourhoods from three different adjacent districts: Centro,Retiro and Salamanca.
