Edificio Metrópolis

Edificio Metrópolis is a Madrid landmark at the junction of Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía, best treated as a brief exterior observation.

Edificio Metrópolis

Why go

Treat this as the opening exterior stop on a westbound Gran Vía architecture walk rather than a separate destination. From here, follow the avenue's longer sequence of landmark façades toward Callao and Plaza de España, using the change from Calle de Alcalá to orient the route.

What to look for

  • The winged Victory statue crowns the building at the junction of Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía.

Useful to know

  • View the building from farther along Calle de Alcalá before approaching the corner details.
  • Make it the opening landmark of a westbound Gran Vía architecture walk.
  • Plan this as an exterior observation rather than an interior visit.
