Hospital de Maudes, catching the last of the sun (best on full screen).

Hospital de Maudes, catching the last of the sun (best on full screen).
The first free hospital in Madrid, funded by a consortium of religious foundations and designed by the famous architect, Antonio Palacios. With the builder, Joaquín Otamendi he built many iconic Madrid buildings of this era (1910-1925). Now it is government offices. It occurs to me that this was completed (1916) just in time for the virus pandemic(s) of a few years later!
This is just around the corner from my flat.

Creo que eso está por Cibeles y antes fue Correos o Comunicaciones. Al costado estaba el Ministerio de Marina, que hoy creo que está en obras para museo naval.

Exactly, José Manuel. I am interested in that Palacio's work (which I like) is firmly rooted in a style that was perhaps more fashionable in the rest of the world up to about 10-15 years before. And which the First World War killed off ... but not here in Spain!
