The park is built around the spring of Nemausus, which gave the town its name; it includes a ruined temple attributed to the hunting goddess Diana, and the octagonal Tour Magne, once part of the Roman walls.
The town contains ruins of Roman society such as a temple to Diana and remnants of the old city walls.
Madrid is the focus of that fiercest of Span?­?­ish customs, the bullfight, and local ferias and fiestas like San Isidro, a celebration of the city's patron saint, are prepared and attended with the same zeal that they are in small Spanish towns.
