Plaza Espana, Madrid
The Plaza de España is a green square, which is located at the end of the Gran Via, one of Madrid's busiest streets. It features a large fountain and famous statue honouring the Spanish writer Cervantes. It became a popular meeting place in the 1950s, after two of Madrid's largest buildings were constructed: the Edificio de España and the Torre de Madrid. Both buildings were constructed by the project developer Metropolitana and designed by the Otamendi brothers.
