Architecture in Madrid

Madrid's architectural landscape spans centuries and scales. The Edificio Metrópolis anchors the Gran Vía with its distinctive dome, while CaixaForum Madrid brings a striking contemporary presence to the Paseo del Prado. The Church of San Ginés de Arlés and the Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso reflect older layers of the city's built history, and the Castillo Nuevo de Manzanares El Real rises at its outskirts. The Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Conde Duque repurposes a Baroque barracks for cultural use today. More unusual entries include the Cathedral of Justo Gallego Martínez, a decades-long individual construction project, alongside the Auditorium of the Universidad Complutense.
