Paseo de la Castellana, Major thoroughfare in Madrid, Spain

The Paseo de la Castellana stretches 6.3 kilometers through Madrid, connecting Plaza de Colón in the south to the M-30 ring road in the north.

Originally built in 1833 as Paseo de las Delicias de la Princesa, the street expanded over decades and became a central axis for Madrid's urban development.

The Open Air Sculpture Museum beneath the Juan Bravo-Eduardo Dato overpass displays works by Spanish artists Joan Miró, Pablo Serrano, and Eduardo Chillida.

The thoroughfare houses numerous embassies, government ministries, financial institutions, and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, making it a central point for business and tourism.

The street follows the path of the former Arroyo de la Castellana stream, which originated from a spring known for its cold waters.
