The Source of

was the spring of 1992 when I fell in love with Madrid. Had traveled several times its streets, hidden corners, squares, along my parents, their friends abroad .... But it was that time when the school made a grand tour around the center, and learned a little more of its history, its Islamic foundation, its churches, its squares, its walls of their palaces ... ..

It was in this revealing tour of our city when I first heard about the Source of Peral, and even then unaware that he had been discovered some years earlier, and perhaps even imagined it would have been destroyed by the passage of time, his story captivated me ...

source XV century and was one of the suburbs of the walled city. Originally it was very simple, although it was renovated in 1569 and 1625, covering the facade with granite Cabrera, giving the source of a large pool and seven pipes, which served to supply the growing population of Madrid. Apart from the sink, the source was a meeting place, and beside it stood a theater, known as Theatre of the Sewers, which over time would become the Theatre Real.

The Source of Peral is currently located in the Plaza de Isabel II (which is better known as Opera), in its southeast side, aproximadamnete in the present corner of Calle Arenal, at a depth of six to nine meters below current ground level. She was buried in 1809 with the creation of the Royal Theatre and the renovation of the plaza. But it was discovered in 1990 during a restoration work which will then be sandwiched behind the walls of the platform of the Metro Line 2 of Madrid.

Since last November 2008 for a new project to remodel the Plaza de Isabel II and the Opera Metro station that will not end until July 2010, the City of Madrid announced the creation of important archaeological remains: the source of Peral and cristina remains of the wall of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Those responsible for this project have announced that they will not exhibit these discoveries to the public. The Heritage Division of the Community of Madrid is currently studying this issue.

Hopefully I can soon see the light source of Peral and and recover part of the history of Madrid.
