The delegate for Culture, Tourism, and Sport, Marta Rivera de la Cruz, highlighted the "absolute tranquility" and "normality" of the day, describing the atmosphere as "great" and noting the presence of numerous visitors, both foreign and from Madrid, seeking nighttime cultural activities.

Rivera de la Cruz emphasized that many attendees expressed surprise and gratitude upon discovering museums open at night, a proposal that, in her words, "adorned" the city. The municipal official stated that half a million people gathered in the streets without any reported incidents.

In addition to the Museum of History, the Temple of Debod and the Museum of San Isidro also participated in this extraordinary opening. The delegate defended the initiative as a "very good way to promote" Madrid's cultural offerings, allowing visitors to share images on social media and publicize cultural spaces that many locals still do not know.

Inspired by Paris's 'Nuit Blanche,' the proposal incorporated the white and yellow colors of the Vatican flag. Rivera de la Cruz also mentioned the gift presented to the Pontiff: a special edition of 'A la muy antigua, noble y coronada Villa de Madrid,' by Jerónimo de la Quintana, which the Pope took as "a true artisan jewel."

The delegate expressed her emotion upon hearing the Pope declare himself a Madrileño, echoing the popular saying "if you are in Madrid, you are from Madrid." She valued the mass held in front of the Palacio de Cibeles as a "wonderful demonstration of what Madrid can do," bringing together nearly one and a half million people in a city adorned with flowers and special carpets.
