Thanks for the quick entry.
2 things though:

1.)
The height is both measured with google earth and can be confirmed at the wikipedia entry. Could you add wikipedia as source and add the height? 19,5m

2.)
Please add the correct coordinates I put in my post.
Now the map is showing the "Puerta del Sol" square...

Thank you

Done!
