Visitors to the Spanish capital are often eager to explore the Plaza de Oriente, located to the west of Madrid. Because although it is located in the west of Madrid, its name indicates its location on the eastern side of the Palacio Real, which is why it was given that name. This square is located in a city that never sleeps, where hustle and bustle are an integral part of everyday life, but the Plaza de Oriente is a haven of peace and tranquility, with its landscaped gardens, surrounded by a kind of semi-circular design. The Plaza de Oriente is also an area filled with plants and trees lining wide walkways, as well as statues of Spanish kings from the medieval period. The Plaza de Oriente enjoys an important location. To the west lies the Royal Palace, the Royal Theater to the east, and the Monastery of the Royal Incarnation to the north.
