Carabanchel Prison, Former prison in Madrid
Carabanchel Prison was a correctional facility in Madrid that operated until its closure in the early 2000s. The structure no longer stands, and the site has been redeveloped for new purposes.
The prison was built in the mid-20th century and served as one of Spain's largest correctional facilities for decades. It was closed in the early 2000s as the structure and operations became outdated.
The site is not open to public visits as the original structure has been demolished. Visitors can only observe the former location in the Carabanchel neighborhood and learn about its history through local resources.
