The first mention of Madrid date back to the X century – at the time he was a small village around the fortress Madzhirit located between the two largest cities at the time of the Kingdom of Spain – Toledo and Segovia.

By the way, another interesting nickname Madrid – “palace Capital of Europe” – due both times with a large number of various forts, castles and palace complexes of various royal dynasties.
Madrid is very proud of the fact that in 1992 the Spanish capital was chosen as the “city of the European culture.” Indeed, the city keeps the cultural heritage of many generations of great artists – which is only the Prado Museum, which has the world’s largest collection of Spanish painting.
