Deal overview
Located next to Puerta del Sol, specifically on Calle Mayor, Casa Palazuelo was created by order of D. Demetrio Palazuelo Maroto, a entrepreneur of the 19th century who saw in Antonio Palacios, the architect of Porriño, Pontevedra, the right one for a project initially intended for offices, offices and commercial use, through shops on the floor low.
It is one of the first commercial and office buildings in Madrid where we can observe the influence of North American architecture, which is undeniable. Antonio Palacios was a visionary, an advance of his time who knew how to take into account the most innovative architectural trends that They were already being carried out in other large cities in the world.
The façade tries to reflect the primary function of the building, through the integration of large windows, however, it maintains a certain classicist air by using a series of paired columns of a giant order, which are combined with new materials such as iron and glass >.
The plants were distributed around a central patio with curved and counter-curved shapes, where the different premises open up around it. The patio receives lighting from a large stained glass window that makes the staircase an impressive setting where the gaze cannot be turned away under any circumstances.
On this visit we are going to immerse ourselves in the history of this charismatic building, one of the most unknown jewels of all the extensive heritage that Madrid treasures, designed in 1919 and inaugurated in 1921, a building that has now exceeded a century since its construction and that, despite this, remains in a magnificent state of conservation.
Its charm and the functions for which it was conceived remain intact and are much more visible when we are in the company of a guide specialized in History and Art History who He tells us in great detail the process of this commercial house and its subsequent evolution.

The visit was very enjoyable, the guide was very professional, pleasant and friendly. The only thing is that the group photo has not arrived in the mail.
The explanations are very well documented, the views from the terrace are spectacular. -

We loved the visit, the building is magnificent, an unknown gem that surprises in the heart of Puerta del Sol. Antonio Palacios, a genius. And our guide, Edurne, is magnificent, passionate about her work, who explained everything to us wonderfully, resolving all our doubts. A 10 for the visit, it's worth it.
