Hospital de Maudes, Madrid

A very impressive building, I wonder if the facilities were as lavish or if it was done for show

Thank you, Peter. Completed in 1916 (it looks at least 50 years older to me). It was the first charitable hospital in Madrid not specifically linked to a religious foundation. Maybe the facilities weren't so great but I bet they they were very welcome nonetheless. Now they are government offices.

What a superb looking building Andy. You'd never think it was a hospital. Great picture.

Many thanks!
Not now, Jenny. It's a government office. But please see my reply to Peter Castell above.
It's two minutes walk round the corner from where I live.

Buena foto de arquitectura que tiene nitidez por todos lados.

Great comment, thank you, josé Manuel!

A magnificent building. Maybe it made people feel special to be going there for treatment.

You know, I think that great architects just might have had that in mind and Antonio Palacios and Joaquìn Otamendi were great architects!
Thank you, Jean.

WOW Andy! what a fantastic photo! you framed it so well with the limbs in view. Im drawn to the awesome architect of the massive building..! good job Andy.,

happy wednesday and happy september my friend.

WOW, marvelous architecture, Andy ****************************

Fantastic architecture!

Beautiful architecture shot with attractive color accents!

Amazing architecture and a wonderful capture of this beautiful building, Andy!

A very stylish building, it's hard to imagine it was built as a hospital even if the use has changed.

Nicely framed..............and a very impressive building. Is it still used as a hospital - the upkeep of a building like the must be very difficult and expensive!

I like the detail you've captured Andy!

Gov. offices now, Keith!

Bon regard ! Bonne soirée !

Ce bâtiment est vraiment beau que l'on ne s’imagine pas qu'il peut s'agir d'un hôpital ! ************

Not any more, Josiane. It has been government offices for many decades.

I've never seen such a wonderful building that acts as a hospital! At first view I thought it was a cathedral....

Now government buildings, but originally a hospital!

Fantastic architecture... :-)
