    The site of the Puerta del Sol, originally a gate facing the east on the 15th century Madrid wall, was named after the upper floor decorated with the pattern of the rising sun; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570. The square, which was built, retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city. From the aerial aerial view, the 10 streets and alleys are radiant, like the rising sun and shining. In the center of the square, oval fountains on both sides of the east and west, surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the C position. The king, who built Madrid's vast infrastructure and was admired by the people of Madrid, rode a high-headed horse and sat smilingly watching the wind and clouds of the square and the changes of the city. On the south side is the most classic building in the square - the Security Bureau Building. The building built from 1766 to 1768 (the bell tower was built in 1867), the simple and bright style, the red and white facade, conveying the atmosphere of neoclassical palace architecture. The building was originally the central post office in Madrid, later the headquarters of the Franco-era Ministry of National Security, and is now the government office building in Madrid. For quite a while, the Spanish people loved the clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, and regarded the clock as Spanish standard time, and it was honored to come here to watch. Today, people gather in the square to listen to the New Year bells of the building. On the north side, four slightly curved buildings lined up all the way, with stylish facades and white crystals; The top of the building is towering "TIO PEPE" (the world's first brand of sherry) advertising, exaggerated with elegance, cute cute. The ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building is embedded with the road zero kilometers logo. Semicircular logo engraved with maps of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, road starting point". Spanish roads calculate miles from this point, Madrid streets prepare house numbers from this point. Without a shadow, the shoes underfoot have not set foot in Madrid.

    Visit Madrid, stop in the starry city square, stroll in the crisscrossed streets, always meet the streets of all kinds of artists...or classic, or absurd, or light singing, or daze, a beautiful scenery, a set of tourists' eyes.

    The Puerta del Sol square is located in the center of New Delhi, Spain. The sexual significance of this year's square is very strong, including his historical significance. If you come, you must do a good job of strategy, otherwise it looks very boring here.

    Plaza del Sol is a semicircle in the center of Madrid, with 10 streets radiating outwards, and is a center of political activity and business in Madrid. It is a historic square and a place that reflects the customs of Madrid. The Security Bureau Building is a prominent building in the square, a neoclassical palace-style building in the late 18th century. After being built, it was used as the central post office in Madrid, the Army Command and the Political Department. Traveling to Puerta del Sol, I was really impressed, it was great 👍
