Tarántula, Architectural structure in Madrid, Spain
The Tarantula structure features eight extended metal arms that stretch outward from a central point, resembling the legs of a spider species.
The construction of this metallic structure in the 1980s marks an industrial design period in Madrid's western architectural development.
Local residents gather near the structure during annual neighborhood festivals, making it a reference point for community celebrations.
The structure stands at the intersection of multiple pedestrian paths, providing shade during summer months through its metal extensions.
Each of the eight arms contains internal mechanisms that control water flow for the surrounding garden irrigation system.
