National Capitals on American Soil ~ Madrid: In the 1500s, London was simply a blip on the map of the future. With the circumnavigation of the world by the Magellan expedition, the capital of Spain became numero uno among world cities. What was the imperial capital when the Magellan expedition returned to Spain? If you said Madrid, you would be wrong. It was Toledo. It wasn't long, though, until Madrid took on that role. It has been the capital of Spain since 1561. If you want to learn something more about the city, consult Geographically Yours. Our Lady of Sorrows Cemetery. [2017]
