旅の径:“The Puerta del Sol was originally built on the wall of Madrid in the 15th century, facing east. The gate tower was decorated with a rising sun pattern, hence the name; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570. The square that was built retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city. From a bird's eye view, with the 12,000 square meters of semicircular square as the center, 10 streets and alleys spread out radially, like the rising sun, shining brightly. In the center of the square, the oval fountains on the east and west sides are surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the center. This king who presided over the construction of a large number of Madrid's infrastructure and was highly respected by the people of Madrid, rode a tall horse, smiled and watched the square and the city's changes. On the south side is the most classic building in the square-the Security Bureau Building. The building was built between 1766 and 1768 (the bell tower was added in 1867). Its simple and bright style and red and white facade convey the mood of neoclassical palace-style architecture. The building was originally the central post office of Madrid, and later the headquarters of the Ministry of National Security during the Franco period. It is now the office building of the Madrid government. For a long time, the Spanish people loved the big clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, regarded the time of this big clock as the Spanish standard time, and regarded it as an honor to come here to check the clock. To this day, every time when the old year is about to end and the new year is about to begin, people still gather in the square to listen to the ringing of the New Year's bell in the building. On the north side, four slightly arc-shaped buildings are lined up along the way, with fashionable facades and crystal white; on the roof in the middle is a "TIO PEPE" (Tio Pepe, the world's number one brand of sherry wine) advertisement, which is exaggerated and elegant, and cute. On the ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building, there is a sign of the zero kilometer of the highway. The semicircular sign is inlaid with a map of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, starting point of the road". The mileage of Spanish roads is calculated from this point, and the street numbers in Madrid are compiled from this point. If you don't leave a photo, it's like your shoes have never set foot in Madrid.”
