Madrid Conventions

The origins of what is now called Madrid has dated back to the ninth century.  Muhammad I ordered the construction of a palace, which is now called Palacio Real. The Catholic Monarchs had later welded into modern Spain during the Renaissance period. At this time, Madrid did not resemble other European cities, and there was little significance about the city.

During the Civil War, Madrid was one of the most affected cities, by being the first city to have been bombed by airplanes targeting civilians. From the nineteenth century to present day, more specifically, since 1562, Madrid has been the sole capital of Spain.
