I propose you a different architecture private tour through the old historic Madrid with a local architect who was born and live in Madrid. Walking with me, you will learn more about the origins of the city from the urban, historical and architectural point of view since the Arabs founded Madrid at the end of the 9th century, following with the conquest of the city by Alfonso VI of Castilla in the 11th century or the moment when Felipe II decided to fix the capital in Madrid. The Madrid of the Hasburgs-Austrias dinasty will lead our journey, without losing the influence of the Bourbons from the 18th century to the present day. An exclusive and personal signature experience, responsible and respectful of the city, its citizens and local businesses. Discover the history of Madrid through the look to its most iconic buildings and our hidden gems with which we will surprise you, as other locals and visitors have already done, architects or mere lovers of architecture and history.
We will start our private tour netx to the Royal Theater. We will review its history with a model of the city, since the Arabs built the Alcázar, till the moment Felipe V decided to built the Royal Palace as we know today. I will give you the historical, artistic, political and sociological context of each building in the city as follows: - Royal Theater (Opera House) - Plaza de Oriente with the impressive monument of Felipe IV - Royal Palace (outside) - Sabatini Gardens - Santiago Church. We will talk about St. James. - San Nicolas Church, the oldest church of the city with details of Mudejar architecture. - Cathedral - Armery Square - Arab Wall - Plaza de la Villa - Old City Hall - San Miguel Market, our parisian market made of iron structure built more than 100 years ago - Plaza Mayor, the heart of the old city. The place of the local market, ceremonies of coronation, bullfighters or public executions. - Sol, the km. 0 of Spain where we celebrate New Year's Eve. Tour can be customized.
