Centro Cultural Galileo, Madrid, Cultural center in Chamberí, Madrid, Spain.
The Centro Cultural Galileo spans across the intersection of Galileo Street, Fernando el Católico Street, and Blasco de Garay Street in Madrid's Chamberí district.
The building was constructed in 1889 as a funeral carriage depot and mortuary, with architect Julio Martínez-Zapata completing an expansion between 1905 and 1907.
Since its transformation into a cultural center in 1986, the building hosts theater productions, art exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs for the local community.
The center maintains multiple facilities including auditoriums, exhibition spaces, and classrooms, all accessible through the main entrances marked by thermal windows and bell gables.
The Neo-Mudéjar architecture features exposed brick walls, a continuous cornice, and a distinctive flattened tower at the building's corner intersection.
