of the country. Because of this location, Madrid is considered
to be the chief political and financial area of the country.

Madrid has a population of just over 3 million people. It was at
one time the capital of the Spanish Empire and is full of many
prominent museums. Though the site of Madrid has been settled
for many thousands of years, it was officially founded around
the 9th century, when a palace was ordered to be built there by
Mehmed I.
