Set in the heart of Spain, Madrid is the home of many theatres, museums and art galleries. The most famous being the Prado, one of the most celebrated and comprehensive art galleries in the world, which houses works by Goya, El Greco, Titian and many more. At the centre of Madrid is the Puerta del Sol, from which ten streets radiate, and to its south is the site of 'Kilometre Zero', a stone slab from which all distances are measured in Spain. The Teatro Real reopened as Madrid's principal opera house in 1997, now beautifully refurbished.
