Edificio Meneses, Eclectic architecture building in Plaza de Canalejas, Madrid, Spain
The Edificio Meneses stands at Plaza de Canalejas number 4, featuring a circular temple supported by columns and topped with a dome.
Architects José María Mendoza Ussía and José de Aragón Pradera designed this commercial building in 1914 for the widow of financier Meneses.
The building introduced a new architectural approach in Madrid by combining large glass surfaces with classical elements in its facade design.
The structure spans multiple floors dedicated to commercial spaces, with the top floor reserved for residential apartments.
The facade incorporates extended semi-classical columns that emphasize vertical lines, alongside a balustrade on the upper floor.
