Madrid began its true splendor with the Austrias, since it was under this dynasty that the city became the capital of Spain.

We will get to know the history of the most relevant buildings and we will immerse ourselves, through history, in the environment of the 16th and 17th centuries (the period of the Austrian Dynasty in Spain).
