Built on the ruins of a Mauerite fortress, the city became capital in 1561, during the reign of Philip II of Habsburg. As a result, Madrid has become a thriving city. Madrid is not only the capital of the country but also the capital of the province and the autonomous community of Madrid. Major cultural and tourist points include the famous Prado Museum, Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, Regina Sofia Art Center (where Guernica's Pablo Picasso is located), Casón del Buen Retiro, Royal Palace, Templo de Debod, Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, Puerta del Sol , Parque de Retiro, and Chueca Other neighboring cities are popular for day trips in Madrid, including Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, Aranjuez, Alcalá de Henares, El Escorial Monastery and Complex, and Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos. Madrid is also known for its nightlife and its discos; For Madrileni, it is not out of the ordinary to dance all night, and then go to work in the morning. This nightlife called Movida, flourished after Franco's death. Madrid is served by Barajas International Airport. Despite the city's population of about four million (Madrileni or Madrileños), the Madrid metro is one of the world's most extensive and fastest developed metro networks. The Monastery and Escorial in Madrid were listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984. In the center of Madrid, in the Plaza de Castilla, there are 4 skyscrapers with heights between 236 and 250 meters. The Spanish capital, excluding the modern suburbs, is roughly the shape of an elongated quadrilateral in the north-south direction. The modern development of the city begins in the 18th century, under the Bourboni, which undertook the capital's construction and the construction of the Royal Palace. Today, the city stretches westwards beyond the Manzanares River (crossed by 11 bridges, the major being Puente de Toledo and Puente de Segovia), along the Paseo de Extremadura and Calle de Toledo roads, and the new Ciudad Lineal neighborhoods, mostly made of villas and lots of green spaces. The Spanish metropolis is distinguished by a large number of parks, large boulevards, monuments and fountains. The largest park in the capital, located on the right bank of the Manzanares River, is the Campo House, in fact a park-forest, covering almost 1750 ha, with three lakes. Other parks: Retiro, Campo del Moro and Parc del Oeste. (V.Cucu, 1971) The extraordinary Temple of Debod is an ancient Egyptian edifice purchased by Spain during the construction of the great dam of Assuan. It was rebuilt next to Rosales, offering a panorama of the city. Las Ventas, the 23,000-seat bullring arena, is the largest arena in Spain, where novice novels present their talents at an initiation ceremony where matadors battle their first bull. Madrid is the most important university center and comprises some of the country's main universities: the Universidad Nacional de Educacion de Distancia, the Complutense University and the Polytechnic University. These, together with Madrid University (founded in 1836), are located in Ciudad Universitaria, a large complex that was inaugurated in 1920. To the north of the city is the Autonomous University of Madrid. The city is served by Barajas International Airport, which is located about 13 km east of the city Despite the city's population of about four million (Madrileni or Madrileños), the Madrid metro is one of the most extensive and fastest developed Metro world. A bus system practically surrounds Madrid. Road systems built in the 1960s are now being rebuilt because pollution caused by cars (especially in summer) has become a serious problem.
