Cocheras de Cuatro Caminos, Metro depot in Vallehermoso, Madrid, Spain
The Cocheras de Cuatro Caminos facility features light structures and refined steel profiles, representing early 20th-century industrial architecture in the Spanish capital.
Opening in 1919 as part of Madrid's first metro line, this depot marked the starting point of the underground railway system inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII.
The building stands as a testament to Madrid's transportation evolution, designed by Antonio Palacios Ramilo who shaped numerous significant structures throughout the city.
Located at coordinates 40.446028, -3.705681, the depot occupies 40,000 square meters of land and continues to function as a train maintenance facility.
This endangered heritage site faces potential demolition to make way for residential development, including a 25-story tower with hanging gardens.
