Plaza de Cibeles

Plaza de Cibeles, Madrid

The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol of Madrid. The Cibeles fountain (designed by Ventura Rodríguez in 1777) stands in the middle of the square and represent the Goddess of nature and protector of the town. An interesting fact is that the Real Madrid football fans gather around this monument to celebrate their club's major victories. Also in this square is the Cibeles Palace (today the place of the City Hall) which also houses the cultural space known as CentroCentro (with an exhibition hall and auditorium, and a viewing platform offering outstanding panoramic views over Madrid); and the Glass Gallery (designed as an events venue) and featuring a spectacular glass vault.
