Edificio Los Sótanos, Madrid

Edificio Los Sótanos, Madrid, Residential building on Gran Vía, Madrid, Spain.

Edificio Los Sotanos is a residential building with office spaces located along Gran Via in Madrid at numbers 53 to 59. The structure spans multiple floors housing apartments and commercial units above ground level.

The building was constructed between 1944 and 1949 under architect Julian Otamendi Machimbarrena's direction in central Madrid. It represented part of the post-war reconstruction efforts in Spain's capital city.

The basement once housed Los Sótanos, an arcade that brought American gaming machines and entertainment to Spain during the 1950s.

This is a private residential building with limited public access for visitors. Its location on Gran Via makes it easy to spot while walking through this popular shopping street.

The building incorporated the Lope de Vega Theater and housed an underground shopping center that became a major entertainment destination. This combination of theater and underground spaces made it a diverse entertainment complex.
