Maggie go around: Madrid

Yes, I stopped in a country which is full with Classical atmosphere - MADRID.

Madrid is the capital of Spain and its largest city. The population of the city is roughly 3.3 million and the entire population of the Madrid metropolitan area is calculated to be around 6.5 million. It is the third-largest city in the European Union, after London and Berlin, and its metropolitan area is the third-largest in the European Union after London and Paris. The city spans a total of 604.3 km2 (233.3 sq mi).

The city is located on the Manzanares river in the centre of both the country and the Community of Madrid (which comprises the city of Madrid, its conurbation and extended suburbs and villages); this community is bordered by the autonomous communities of Castile and Leónand Castile -La Mancha. As the capital city of Spain, seat of government, and residence of the Spanish monarch, Madrid is also the political, economic and cultural centre of Spain.

First station I stopped by is Madrid Palace. Unfortunately, we are not allow to take photos inside the palace. However, what I want to share is, the palace is really huge! Besides huge, it also have many rooms inside the palace with different style of decoration and very grand.

Beside that, I had found a place call Templo de Debod in Madrid. It is an ancient Egytian temple which was rebuilt in Madrid, Spain.

The most interesting thing about this place is, the building is move from Egypt one by one in 1968, because approximately 1960 to 1970, the Spanish helped Egypt to put their monuments to a place that no flood happen.

So to thank Spain, Egypt gave this temple to Spain as a gift.
