The official blog for Google Maps
Madrid in 3D!
January 29, 2010
(cross-posted from the
Official Google SketchUp Blog)
Madrid, Spain is the latest city to be introduced to the 3D Buildings layer in
Google Earth
.
The
City of Madrid
contains scores of beautiful structures ranging from art museums and classical monuments to palatial government buildings. The prevalence of architectural wonders may explain why passionate geo-modelers have created thousands of models there (using both
Google SketchUp
and
Google Building Maker
) -- the largest concentration of 3D models anywhere the world!
To start your virtual tour, I recommend you fly-to
El Palacio real de Madrid
(Royal Palace of Madrid), the official residence of the King of Spain. From there I'd fly over to the
Puerta de Alcalá
, a famous classical monument located in the Plaza de la Independencia (Independence Square), and then over to the
Monumento a Alfonso XII en el Parque del Buen Retiro
, a beautiful monument that is among the greatest in Europe.
And don't miss the Plaza de Cibeles where the famous statue
Fuente de Cibeles
is surrounded by trees and beautiful buildings, including the stunning
Palacio de Comunicaciones
(Madrid City Hall) and
Banco de España
(Bank of Spain) buildings.
If I were to visit Madrid for real, I think I'd want to stay at the
Palace Hotel
, which is a short walk to the famous
Prado Museum
(one of my all-time favorite models in Google Earth) where you can
fly inside
and experience the great works of art.
Fútbol (American soccer) fan? Madrid is the home to
Real Madrid
, who play in the
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
. Olé!
