Mayrit (now Palacio)

Palacio is a neighbourhood of Madrid.

It is geographically where the now-capital of Spain was funded, under Muslim rule and with the name of Mayrit. This is also where reforms and urban planning took their larger tolls, so that the oldest remains of the medieval city are now to be found in Sol, which was before at the outskirt.

This painting from Carlos de Haes in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, shows how Madrid looked like in the middle of the 19th century:
