Elliptical square, center of Madrid, kilometer 0 of the Spanish road network and place of the uprising against Napoleon in 1808
It is the real center of Madrid and the zero kilometer of the Spanish road network. Until 1570, the Puerta del Sol was outside the city walls. It seems that the name of the square comes from a sun carved on the door of what was then the city wall and which remained so until the 16th century. The square has an elliptical shape and ten streets meet there. At the beginning of Calle Preciados, the bear and the arbutus tree, emblems of the capital, remind us that in the past the city was surrounded by large areas. On May 2, 1808, the uprising against Napoleon took place here.

Le centre névralgique de Madrid
La Puerta del Sol c'est le centre même de Madrid car cest de cet endroit que partent les routes autrement dit le km 0. Sur la place, il ne faut pas manquer d'aller observer la statue de l'Ours et l'arbousier, pas toujours facile à repérer surtout si c'est une heure de pointe comme vers 13:00 ou 20:00.

le centre de la ville!
La puerta des Sol est vraiment central! Tous les chemins y mènent. Mais il est opportun de l'éviter si on veux aller plus vite ou éviter le flot de gens qui passent par Madrid

à voir
La Puerta del Sol est située au cœur de Madrid. C'est l'une des places les plus connues et les plus animées. La place est piétonnière, sauf le long de la rue passant devant la Real Casa de Correos. Mais sinon rien de spécial à voir, juste pour gouter l'ambiance de la ville.
