How Big is Madrid - in relation to other European cities?

Madrid is the third largest European city, after London and Berlin. It lies on the Manzanares River. In fact, the city was founded by the Moors as a citadel overlooking the Manzanares. Its source is the Sierra de Guadarrama in the Sistema Central. The Community of Madrid (Comunidad de Madrid) is one of the seventeen autonomous communities (regions) of Spain. It is the home of Autonoma University (the nearest tube stop is Cantoblanco on the C-4 line).
