Hospital de Maudes (a small section). Please look on the satellite map to get an idea of its true size!

In the next street to my flat. A large complex of buildings, originally an isolation hospital built by the Jornaleros religious organisation. Now government offices.
Architects Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi. Inaugurated in 1916. To me the architecture is of an older order than that, but architecture was probably largely suspended in most of Europe due to WWI and when it resurfaced it was heavily influenced by Bauhaus. Spain was neutral in the war and blithely carried on with Victorian architectural styles.

What a fascinating building, Andy. I just adore the architecture there, it's lovely seeing this style still standing.

Thank you, Jenny!
The fact that it houses the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and other things has probably helped save the site from the developers.
