Madrid. The Neptune Fountain

The Westin Palace Hotel is located in the center of Madrid, 350 meters from the famous Prado Museum and 600 meters from Parco del Retiro. We can see the intersection of several streets of the city at Plaza Cánovas del Castillo.

In 1898, the fountain of Neptune was installed in the center of the square. Before that, the monument had stood on the avenue Paseo de Recoletos for more than 100 years. Both tourists and football fans of Atletico Madrid gather around the pool with sculptures and beautiful streams of water. Celebration of the victories of the beloved team near the Neptune Fountain has already become a tradition for Atletico fans.

In addition to the fountain, a few more major sights of Madrid are seen on the screen. At the end of Calle de Felipe IV, you can see the columns of the Cason del Buen Retiro Museum, built in the early 19th century. In the right part of the image is the Catholic Royal Church of St. Jerome. The church, in the style of Italian Gothic Isabelino, was built in 1505.
