Description

Published by
Located inside the Cibeles Palace, Madrid's City Hall, this large courtyard, notable for its immense glass dome, hosts various public and private events throughout the year.

The gallery is a 2,800-square-meter multifunctional space enclosed by a sophisticated glass structure composed of more than 2,000 unique triangular panes of glass, rising to a height of 30 meters. In the 17th century, it formed part of the grounds of the Buen Retiro Palace, and later, in the 19th century, it housed a pleasure garden. In the 20th century, it was integrated into the Communications Palace as a passageway and loading dock, and after its restoration and renovation, it has become an essential element of Madrid's City Hall.

Conceived as a space open to the public every day of the week, it features underfloor heating and air conditioning.
