Palacio de los Condes de Guevara, Baroque revival palace in Santa Bárbara Square, Madrid, Spain

The Palacio de los Condes de Guevara features three floors with towers, wrought iron details, and balconies that exemplify baroque revival architecture.

Built in 1920 by architect Joaquín Pla Laporta, the palace replaced the former Saladero Prison, which operated as a men's correctional facility until 1884.

The palace represents the transition of Madrid's urban development, transforming from aristocratic residences to modern commercial spaces while maintaining historical facades.

Located at number 2 Santa Bárbara Square, the building now houses Openbank offices after UBS acquired the property in 2018.

The structure retains its original facade design while the interior has been completely modernized to accommodate banking and financial operations.
