alcala gate (puerta de alcala)印象
-
This representative monument was built in 1778 and it was one of five doors to go into Madrid.Puerta de Alcalá is located in a very interesting Point in Madrid. In front of Parque del Retiro (another "must" in your visit for Madrid), it is close to Plaza Cibeles (Place of interest) near to Prado and Thyssen Museums and in the beginning of Gran Vía Street (Probably the most important street in Madrid for tourists).In Summary I suggest to dedicate a day to visit Puerta de Alcala, give a walk in Parque del Retiro gardens and finish in the afternoon going all over Gran Vía Street.

Statue of Carlos3. Breaking point for the families.Fathers take kids to the Retiro Park, mothers go in opposite direction - of course shopping in Serrano district.Both have a flavor of the...pleasure.

The Alcala Gate or Spanish in language "Puerta Alcalá", is a monument located in the heart of the city, along the Plaza de la Independencia, really adjacent to the immense garden of the Parque del Retiro. Attraction to be seeing closely to admire the beautiful and precious sculptural details. Although only moraine short visit but it is a must.

The beautiful gate is surrounded by a roundabout loaded with traffic. Thankfully there are street lights for pedestrians. It is pretty photogenic none the less.

We arrived here after visiting the park opposite and immediately were struck by the impressive architecture. Its a fantastic site and steeped in history. Come see it.

We were lucky enough to view this both at night and during the day. It's so impressive. At night, it was lit up for Christmas and police stopped traffic to allow tourists to take pictures from the street. A handful of restaurants surrounding the plaza/circle with lovely outdoor dining.

Puerta de Alcala is just a huge monument in the middle of a trafiic circle. It is impressive and cool looking but that's about it, so go there if you have never been to Madrid before. Here's the tip; there are really cool bars on the western side of the plaza, all of them with outdoor seating even in winter (they have space heaters and blankets). So, for a really cool experience, go at night when the monument is lit and sit outside to enjoy the view with some good companion. The bars in that section of town are not known for their culinary excellence although you will never be disappointed with food in Madrid so beer, wine and tapas plus some engaging conversation in a beautiful night setting is what I like about the place. The plaza is reached by Metro or walking from the Gran Via.

Imposing, beautiful and now in Xmas all lighted up. A must seen in Madrid, next to Retro park and Center.

The Puerta de Alcala is a Neoclassic monument that is very beautiful. The square it is on is kept tidy all year long and is planted with flowers. Francesco Sabatini designed this wonderful monument and it adorns the city. There is plenty of traffic around the square, so many people passing by can admire the beautiful architecture. There are many cafeterias that line the square.
