San Fernando de Henares

Image of San Fernando de Henares, not of the place itself.

The town was born planned according to European Baroque schemes, with a square Plaza de España and a circular Plaza de Fernando VI linked by an axis aligned with the façade of the Royal Factory; it has been a historic-artistic ensemble since 1983.
