prncipe po

Prncipe Po is the name of a hill in the western part of Madrid, Spain. It's named after the prince Pius of Savoy, who owned property there. Later barracks (Cuartel de la Montaa) were constructed there. The Madrilene rebels who fought the Napoleonic invaders on 2 May 1808 were executed there on 3 May, as painted by Francisco de Goya. The former location of the Barracks is the site now of the Debod Temple, an Nubian temple granted by the Egyptian government to Spain, thanking the Spanish help to save antiques during the building of the Aswan Dam.

Station

It's also the name of a commuter train station there. Formerly known as Estación del Norte, it used to be an important interurban train terminal. It is now primarily used by Renfe commuter rail traffic. It is also a metro station, serving lines 6, 10, and Ramal of the Madrid Metro. Sliding pavements communicate the station with the Opera metro station.
