Madrid, Spain

The Plaza Mayor captures the essence of Madrid at the peak of the Spanish Empire's power. Conceived by Philip II and completed by Philip III, whose statue dominates the visual field, the Plaza is to Madrid what the canals are to Amsterdam, the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, and 'Big Ben' is to London. It is the city's signature landscape. [2009]
