Edificio Metrópolis, Madrid

The Metropolis Building or Edificio Metrópolis is an office building in Madrid, at the corner of the Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía. Inaugurated in 1911, it was designed by Jules and Raymond Février for the insurance company La Unión y el Fénix. It is currently owned by Metrópolis Seguros. The eye-catching structure, decorated with numerous sculptures, is especially beautiful at night, when it is spectacularly illuminated.
