About this episode

Every major city in the world has its own unique story. Some cities have an ancient history, and others have a more recent founding.

Madrid, the capital city of Spain, has a history that is unlike any other. 

It went from nothing to being the capital of the world’s largest empire and today is one of the largest cities in Europe. 

Learn more about the history of Madrid, Spain’s capital and largest city, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
