The architecture in Madrid reflects the city's history as one of the great European capitals. The architecture of Madrid has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets, even though Madrid possesses a modern infrastructure. Its landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Royal Theatre with its restored 1850 Opera House, the Buen Retiro Park (founded in 1631), the 19th-century National Library building (founded in 1712) and the Golden Triangle of Art located along the Paseo del Prado and comprising three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Cibeles Palace and Fountain have become the monument symbol of the city. The architecture of Madrid is influenced by a number of styles from various historical periods and European cultures such as Italian, Austrian and French.
