The Torre de Madrid rises 142 meters into the sky with 36 floors, featuring a white facade and rectangular geometric patterns throughout its structure.

The construction of this residential tower started in 1954 and reached completion in 1957, marking a period of architectural advancement in post-war Spain.

The Torre de Madrid demonstrates the shift in Spanish architectural preferences during the 1950s from traditional designs toward modern metropolitan structures.
