Centro Dotacional Integrado Arganzuela

Centro Dotacional Integrado Arganzuela is a municipal community center in the Arganzuela district featuring three floors and multiple function rooms. The building includes a lecture hall with 151 seats, eight classrooms, a study area, and a rooftop swimming pool.

The building operated as Madrid South Bus Station until 1997, when bus services relocated to Mendez Alvaro Street due to space needs. The extensive renovation in 1998 transformed the former station into a modern community center with new facilities.

The center serves the neighborhood as a gathering place for events and artistic activities, with regular concerts and exhibitions throughout the year. Visitors experience a dynamic program that brings the community together and showcases local talent.

The facility is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 18:30, with shorter hours from 10:00 to 14:00 during summer. It is best to verify opening times before visiting, especially during holiday periods.

The rooftop swimming pool emerged from the creative transformation of a former bus station and offers an unexpected oasis above the city. This feature shows how the old infrastructure was imaginatively repurposed into new community resources.
