CARLOS III AT THE PUERTA DEL SOL, 2023

            Equestrian statue of King Carlos III, located in the Puerta del Sol, in the heart of the city of Madrid.

Recently this statue and its pedestal are being repositioned and reoriented further south from their previous position.

In the background of the photo you can see the building called "Real Casa de Correos".

The construction of this unique building dates from the end of the second half of the 18th century, and it is the oldest building in Puerta del Sol.

The best known of its architecture is the clock that exists in a turret raised on its roof.

This centenary clock becomes the protagonist once a year on the night of December 31 due to the chimes that mark the ritual of the twelve grapes.

In front of the main door of the building you can see a historical plaque on kilometer zero (origin of the radial highways and the numbering of the streets of Madrid).

The building has performed multiple functions throughout history, and is currently the seat of the presidency of the Community of Madrid. (Source: Wikipedia)

CARLOS III EN LA PUERTA DEL SOL, 2023

Estatua ecuestre del Rey Carlos III, situada en la Puerta del Sol, en pleno centro de la ciudad de Madrid.

Recientemente esta estatua y su pedestal están siendo recolocadas y reorientadas más al sur de su posición anterior.

En el fondo de la foto se ve el edificio denominado "Real Casa de Correos".

La construcción de este edificio singular data de finales de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, y se trata del edificio más antiguo de la Puerta del Sol.

Lo más conocido de su arquitectura es el reloj que existe en una torreta levantada sobre su tejado.

Este reloj centenario se hace protagonista una vez al año en la noche del 31 de diciembre debido a las campanadas que marcan el ritual de las doce uvas.

Frente a la puerta principal del edificio se puede ver una placa histórica sobre el kilómetro cero (origen de las carreteras radiales y de la numeración de las calles de Madrid).

El edificio ha desempeñado múltiples funciones a lo largo de la historia, y en la actualidad es la sede de la presidencia de la Comunidad de Madrid. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
