architecture and monuments of Madrid

[Gredos]

about a post in which someone claims that "its architecture is also very influenced by moorish/mudejar standards and most of its monuments are of moorish origin"

and then he posted what I think is the only monument in Madrid that has a vague appearance.



There is more eastern architecture in many northern European cities, but that is another matter. This post is to make it clear to everyone who is confused (or seeks to confuse), what styles predominate in Madrid, showing the most famous buildings and monuments.

Feel free to desperately search for Arabic influenced architecture in Madrid and post it here. Search using words like mudejar and neomudejar, that cheap brick style used in the bullring.


I'll start with a big one:


Palace Real of Madrid, Baroque and neo-classic

[Gredos]

a few churches


San Jeronimo, Late Gothic




San Manuel y San Benito, Neo-bizantine




Calatrava, Neo-renaissance




La milagrosa, Neo-Gothic




Santa Maria del Silencio Eclectic, Historicist, Medievalist and Viennese secessionist

You are already afraid, aren't you?

They decided to do it this way. It is a decorative style when we native Spaniards see it, we do not remember that it is Moorish nor do we go running into the arms of the modern Moroccans, it is evocative, rhetorical, poetic, it is within an architectural style and that's it, you do not even remember the 800 years of war.


Madrid is a place I would have chosen to live.

Who said that?


I really like "La Gran Vía" of Madrid. It was a very anvicious project for its time

in fact the Telefonica building was the tallest of its time in Europe, some sources consider it the first European skyscraper.

(American style but with Madrid decoration according to some authors)

The new project: Madrid Nuevo Norte

Unfortunately this project, for one reason or another, has been delayed for 30 years. Construction will begin in the next few years and will have the tallest skyscraper in the European Union, at 330 meters.
