The architecture of Madrid has preserved the appearance of many of its historic streets and neighborhoods, despite the fact that Madrid has a modern infrastructure. Its landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Royal Theater with its restored 1850 Opera House, the Buen Retiro Park (founded in 1631), the 19th-century National Library building (founded in 1712) containing some of the historical archives of Spain, a large number of national museums, and the Golden Triangle of Art located along the Paseo del Prado and made up of three art museums: the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, which completes the shortcomings of the other two museums.
