- The Museo del Prado, founded as a museum of paintings and sculpture, also has important collections of drawings (more than 5,000), prints (2,000), coins and medals (around 1,000), and almost 2,000 decorative objects and works of art. Sculpture is represented by more than 700 works and by a smaller number of sculptural fragments.
- The Plaza Mayor of Madrid was built on the orders of Philip II in the place of a market of Arab origin, outside the city walls, over the dried bed of an old lake; the King, who had just chosen Madrid to be his kingdom's capital, wished a monumental square where he could have fairs and shows for his illustrious visitors.
- Following the release of their third album, X & Y, in June, and back live after a two-year break, the lads from Coldplay return to Europe to continue their Twisted Logic for three dates in Spain, here arriving at Madrid's Palacio de Deportes.
