Having never visited Madrid, we didn't know what to expect, or what we would find, and were absolutely astonished to find such a wonderful place - that's FREE TO ENTER. Whilst wandering around Madrid, we came upon this stunning building, and decided to take a closer look. What a wonderful place, and what a magnificent interior. It's hard to believe... More

We visited on our walk back to our hotel. We some how missed getting the entrance ticket, which is free, so we could only go up to the 4th floor. We were still able to take some great pictures of Fontana di Cibele. We could have gone back downstairs to get the ticket, but time was limited so we took... More

Now called "centro/centro" this cultural center is a grand meeting place, chill out area, and soon will have a coffee shop in it also.

Wanted to go to the observation deck but they only open on specific hours so missed that. However there is free wifi at the lobby its spacious and comfortable. There;'s also a few odd exhibitions on each hall.
