Plaza de Cibeles

Madrid....Maggio 2013

The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection of Calle de Alcalá (running from east to west), Paseo de Recoletos (to the North) and Paseo del Prado (to the south). Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Council named it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.



Au centre de la place se trouve une fontaine représentant la déesse Cybèle. Cette fontaine est l'œuvre de l'architecte madrilène Ventura Rodríguez et des sculpteurs Francisco Gutiérrez (pour la figure de Cybèle) et Roberto Michel (pour les lions). Elle fut édifiée entre 1777 et 1782.
