The layout of its streets is of medieval origin, which is why its narrow streets are irregular. It is one of the liveliest areas of the city famous for its tapas bars and taverns. Its name comes from the old hospital that was located on Toledo Street, which in turn was called Hospital de la Latina in honor of its founder, Beatriz Galindo, writer, humanist and Latin teacher (hence the Latina) of Queen Isabella the Catholic queen and her children. the following places are worth checking out: the Plaza de la Cebada; the Plaza de Cascorro; the garden of the Prince of Anglona; the Cava Alta and Cava Baja, the most characteristic streets of the neighborhood with a variety of restaurants and tapas bars; the museum of San Isidro and the collegiate church of San Isidro; the basilica of San Francisco el Grande; the Rastro (on Sunday mornings) and the legendary Teatro de La Latina.

It was opened on February 9, 1851, thus becoming the second railway line in Spain and the first train station in Madrid. Atocha station was expanded twice, in 1865 and 1892, the latter time the most emblematic element of this station was added: the roof of the main nave, the work of the engineer Henri de Saint-James and whose measures are 152 meters long, 48 light and 27 high.

Temple of Debod
The Temple of Debod is an Egyptian temple from the 2nd century BC donated by the Egyptian government. Located in the Cuartel de la Montaña Park, near the Plaza de España, in Madrid. This temple was built at the command of King Meroe Adijalamani in honor of the gods Amun and Isis. Later, the kings who succeeded him added new rooms to the original one. After the annexation of Egypt to the Roman Empire, those who completed the temple were the emperors Augustus, Tiberius and probably Hadrian. In the 6th century, Nubia was converted to Christianity and the temple was abandoned. In the 20th century, the Egyptian government decided to donate it to the city of Madrid with the excuse of the construction of a dam that would demolish it and as thanks for its cooperation in the salvage of the temples of Nubia, among which is the Temple of Abu Simbel. The transfer work was meticulous since it was disassembled and reassembled piece by piece and opened to the public in 1972. Inside the Temple of Debod, you can find all the information and mythology surrounding this construction that has become a favorite place for the people of Madrid to watch the sunset.

In this palace, different spaces can be seen among which are the Throne Room, the Royal Armory, the Hall of Columns, the main staircase, the Hall of Gasparini, the Royal Kitchen, and the gala dining room, the Royal Chapel and the Hall of Albarderos. The Royal Palace was built by order of Philip V on the foundations of the old Royal Alcazar, which burned down in 1734. The works began in 1738 by the architect Filippo Juvara. When he died, he was replaced by Juan Bautista Sachetti. Other architects who were involved in the construction of the building were Ventura Rodriguez, in charge of the Royal Chapel, and Francesco Sabatini, who finished the palace and was in charge of the decoration. Monarchs of the calibre such as Carlos III, Alfonso XIII, Queen Maria Cristina and even Manuel Azaña, president of the Second Republic, have resided in this palace.

Almudena Cathedral
The Cathedral of Santa María la Real de la Almudena, known as the Almudena Cathedral, is located on Bailén Street, in front of the Royal Palace, in the center of Madrid. The construction of this temple began on December 22, 1868, with the permission of the Archbishop of Toledo after the previous one had been destroyed in the revolution of the same year. The Congregation of Slaves of the Virgin of the Almudena were responsible for obtaining this permission since they presented themselves to the Royal House which decided to cede part of the land. When the queen died, King Alfonso XII hastened the construction as he wanted to bury his wife, Maria de las Mercedes, there. The architect in charge was Francisco de Cubas y Montes, who began the work in 1883, with Alfonso XII himself laying the first stone. The church became a cathedral in 1885, thus modifying the initial project. The design of the Almudena Cathedral is in the French neo-Gothic flowery style, with a Latin floor plan, three naves and side chapels. On the main altar is the figure of the Virgin of Almudena. The construction of the cathedral was slowed down due to the death of the architect and the handover to different architects such as Miguel Olabarría, Enrique Repullés y Vargas and Juan Moya. The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939, also caused a postponement of the construction of the temple until 1944 when the architects Fernando Chueca and Carlos Sidro de la Puerta were in charge of adapting and carrying on with the project. After several more setbacks, the cathedral was finally completed in 1993, 110 years after its inception.

The Gran Vía is one of the main avenues in Madrid. It starts at Calle Alcalá and ends at Plaza de España. Built between 1910 and 1931, it marked the construction of the first skyscrapers in Spain and the beginning of modernization. This street was decided to be built as a solution to the congestion in the city center, made up of chaotic alleys, of which twenty-two were eliminated. As an interesting fact, although a more optical layout was still sought, it had to be adapted in order to respect three religious buildings: the Real Oratorio del Caballero de Gracias, the church of San José and the church of San Francisco de Borja, which no longer exists. The result of this new road, made up of three sections, led to the construction of some of the most emblematic buildings in Madrid: the Metropolis, the Telefónica building, the Casino, the Capitol Building and the Callao cinema.
