Besides the unique fountain, on the same plaza is the Palacio de Correos/Comunicaciones (Communications Palace), which is now the present day City Hall of Madrid.

The palace does not go unnoticed with its monumental modern facade with touches of ‘art deco’.

The Real Madrid football (soccer) team celebrates their great victories in the Cibleles fountain.

Within this beautiful scenery, some of the main events of the WYD will be celebrated: the opening mass and the start of the Stations of the Cross of the WYD
