Lonely Planet review

On the western side of Plaza del Triunfo, the Archive of the Indies is the main archive on Spain's American empire, with 80 million pages of documents dating from 1492 through to the end of the empire in the 19th century. The 16th-century building, designed by Juan de Herrera, was originally built as a merchants' exchange. It was closed for restoration work at the time of writing.
