EspañolPRíNCIPE PíO
'La montaña del Príncipe Pío' is the name of a hill in the western part of Madrid, Spain.
It is named after the prince Pius of Savoy, who owned property there.
Later, barracks (''Cuartel de la Montaña'') were constructed there.
The Madrilene rebels who fought the Napoleonic invaders on 2 May 1808 were executed there on the 3 May morning, as painted by Francisco de Goya.

Around the 1960s, the barracks were demolished to make room for the Parque del Oeste ("West Park").
The former location of the Barracks is now the site of the Debod Temple, a Nubian temple given by the Egyptian government to Spain in gratitude for Spanish help in saving antiques during the building of the Aswan Dam.
