Madrid - Puerta del Sol square - Gateway of the Sun - Spain :

Madrid Puerta del Sol -- The Plaza Puerta del Sol in Madrid is the perfect starting point to explore the city centre. This bustling, centrally located square is one of the city's most lively places.

It's the heart of central Madrid's historic center, this site used to be on the eastern border of the city. The plaza's name originates from the eastern city gate located here in the 15th century. The gate was probably called after a sun drawn on it, hence the name Puerta del Sol or 'Sun Gate'. The current semi-oval square was created in the 19th century.

In the middle of Puerta del Sol square is the large equestrian statue of King Carlos III. The King looks out to a beautiful 18th century red brick building, the former main post office. In front of this building on the pavement is the 'kilometer 0' plaque, marking the center of the Spanish road network. It is the starting point from where all the highway distances are measured.

The Puerta del Sol is also the location of the symbol of Madrid: a 20 ton statue of a bear eating fruits from a tree. The official name of the statue is 'El Oso y El Madroño'. The Madroño is a tree related to the strawberry tree.

While shopping may be the main activity for most visitors to Puerta del Sol square, you should be aware this is also the historic square of protest. It was here that the uprising against French occupiers started in May of 1808, and the square is used regularly today by one group or another to make their viewpoints known.
