Built to commemorate Charles III's first 20 years on the throne, the arch was designed by Francesco Sabatini. It was completed nine years later and has been one of Madrid's greatest symbols ever since.

This monument shows a goddess riding in a chariot drawn by two lions. It is another reference to the formerly fertile land around Madrid. It is one of the city's famous symbols and is very close to the hearts of the Madrileños. Built in the late 18th century.
