Gran Vía, Main commercial avenue in Centro, Madrid, Spain

The Gran Vía extends from Plaza de Cibeles to Plaza de España, featuring an array of early 20th-century architectural styles including Art Deco and Neo-Mudéjar.

Construction began in 1910, requiring the demolition of 22 narrow streets to create a modern thoroughfare connecting Madrid's old center with new neighborhoods.

The street contains numerous theaters, cinemas, and performance venues, including the Edificio Metropolis with its distinctive black dome topped by a statue.

Multiple metro stations serve Gran Vía, including Banco de España, Gran Vía, and Plaza de España, with expanded sidewalks accommodating increased pedestrian traffic.

The Telefónica Building, constructed in 1929, became one of Europe's first skyscrapers and remains a central landmark along this commercial corridor.
