Yesterday i was walking for my city, when I thought to writte you about this fantastic place... La puerta de Alcalá...
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- HISTORY *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
La puerta de alcalá was builded for the King CARLOS III, (called the best Madrid's mayor) and designed for Sabatini at the year 1778.
The first Puerta de Alcalá was really used as door, but the actually monument is the builded by Carlos III, and is only a conmemorative monument.
The style of this monument is neoclassic. It has three archs and two doors. And the materials are Spanish Granite and marble.
*-*-*-*-*-*-* WHERE IS IT? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It's at independence square (Plaza de la independencia) on front of Retiro's garden, a very turistic zone of our city...
Near it's Arqueological museum, a very interesting place for visit.
You can use the underground (retiro) or some buses ( lines: 1 , 2 , 9 , 15 , 20 , 28 , 51 , 52 , 74 )
I recommend you don't stop at the zone restaurants, because they're extremly expensives...
If you like detailled information: PLAZA INDEPENDENCIA, s/n 28001 - MADRID ESPAÑA Distrito - Barrio: RETIRO - LOS JERONIMOS
*-*-*-*-*-*-* MY OPINION *-*-*-*-*-*-*
La puerta de alcalá is one of the most important monuments of Madrid, but the zone is not the best, because it's too expensive and too turistic...
But if you go to see this monument, please stop at retiro's garden, because it's really relaxed and a lake of place in the chaos of city...
Thanks for read me!
Bye and blesses of the night...
P.s.: Sorry about my mistakes but i'm spanish... and i'm practising my english. Too i would like to put some photos, but i'm still at the first level :(
