Plaza del Callao
-
The look of this busy square reflects the sleek modernist architecture of 1930s America. Good examples are the curved Art Deco façade of the Carrión building (No. 3), the Palacio de la Prensa (No. 4) and the Palacio de la Música (Gran Vía 35), all now cinemas. Madrid is one of only a handful of cities in the world where you can still see hand-painted film posters.
