Beti Jai fronton, Historic fronton in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain
The Beti Jai fronton features an elliptical design with curved side facades, cast-iron columns, and grandstand beams overlooking a 67-meter-long playing court.
Built in 1894 for Basque pelota games, the structure later served multiple functions including a police station, prison, and car repair workshop until 1977.
The building combines Neo-Mudéjar elements with 19th-century ironwork, displaying original roofing tiles from the Great Tile Factory of Eloy Silió.
Located at 7 Marqués de Riscal Street, the fronton opens on weekends from July through October, with guided tours available from 10 AM to 2 PM.
The structure contains remnants of original frescoes on its roofs and represents the last remaining 19th-century Basque pelota fronton in Madrid.
