ID 229398520 © 2circles | Megapixl.com
Puerta del Sol, Gate of the Sun, is one of the nerve centres of Madrid. During the fifteenth century, La Puerta del Sol was originally one of the gates of the city wall and three centuries later, mid-eighteenth century, the Casa de Correos was established, today the headquarters of the Presidencia de la Comunidad. It isn’t really a square, but a semi-circle. The Plaza de la Puerta del Sol owes its present appearance in part to the Bourbon king Carlos III r 1759–88, whose equestrian statue, complete with his unmistakable nose, stands in the middle.
