Come with us and dive into the roots of Madrid, from its settlement as a small Moorish town in the 9th century to its establishment in the 16th century as the capital of the biggest empire to date: The empire of the most powerful family in medieval Europe also known as the Habsburgs.
We will give you the keys of understanding modern-day Madrid through its history: An inclusive, cosmopolitan, welcoming, culturally-rich city full of contrasts. You will discover how it transformed from old, isolated and cold Castile, to an empire which conquered the seas. An empire so big that in the words of Phillip II: “The empire on which the sun never sets.”
Opera Metro Station, Arenal and Plaza Isabel II exit (see map). Look for our guide carrying a red umbrella.
