Mejores Excursiones de un Día y Cosas que Hacer en Fuente de cibeles

This Plaza de Cibeles fountain found in one of Madrid’s most beautiful squares is named after the Roman goddess of nature, Cibele (or Ceres). Cibeles Fountain, built between 1777-82, depicts the goddess, who holds the keys to the city, in a chariot being pulled by two lions. Football (aka soccer) fans rally around the fountain to celebrate every time the city’s beloved Real Madrid Football Club wins a cup, as the fountain is considered the most important symbol of Madrid.
