The 18th-century Royal Palace, with its extravagant interior, is located on the edge of the old part of Madrid. A short walk away is the historic Plaza Mayor, surrounded by 17th-century architecture. Two monasteries can also be found in the city's bustling center. The Prado ranks as one of the world's finest art museums, with its vast collection of Spanish, Flemish, and other European paintings.
Modern art is featured in two other well-known museums closeby.
