The Plaza de Cibeles is the busiest district in Madrid because it houses one of the largest and tallest post offices in the world â the Communications Palace. This is the building that carries with it about 3 thousand workers everyday.
The historic centre, also known as the Madrid of Los Austrias (in reference to the Hapsburg monarchs), and the spectacular Plaza Mayor square âinaugurated in 1620 and one of the most popular and typical sites in Spainâ are a living example of the nascent splendour of the city in the 16th and 17th centuries.
