History of Madrid (Spain)

During centuries, Madrid was just a village founded by the Muslims. Yes, in those Middle Ages times, when Spain was split between two main areas of influence: Christian kingdoms in the North and Muslim territories in the South, the important town in the center of the Iberian Peninsula was Toledo, and Madrid was used as a little fortification to guard Toledo of a possible Christian invasion. You can still see the ruins of the Muslim wall near the current Royal Palace (the biggest Royal palace in the world… but uninhabited, as a part of our peculiarities).
