Hallmark buildings of Madrid

We all know them, the buildings and houses that are printed on every city map or book about the city- the landmark buildings.

And this is what this post is going to be about... Madrid´s most famous buildings!


Schweppes building

You will for sure stumble upon this huge and unignorable bright building when walking on Gran Vía. It is located right in the center of Gran Vía and it shines bright like a diamond with its "Schweppes" billboard.

Definitely worth seeing, particularly at night!

Metropolis building

The "Edificio metropolis" is undoubtedly one of THE most popular buildings Madrid is reknown for. You can find this building at the end of Gran Vía, facing Plaza de Cibeles.

It is a white building inundated with ornaments, the roof is black with golden elements and on top there is an angel.

Very impressive!!

The most famous hotel in Madrid tantalizes with its elegant and unique architecture and of course prestige.

Telefonica Building

The "Edificio Telefóncia" is one of my favorite buildings in the entire city since it was part of various spanish netflix series. However, other than that, it is one of the tallest building you will find in Madrid. It always stands out and at night, the clock on top is lit up in blue. Subsequently, it has become a hallmark building of Madrid´s skyline located in the heart of the city. It is more than 90 meters high.

Nowadays, the building is still home to the largest mobile phone network provider of the country.
