Entorno Asamblea de Madrid
The area around the Assembly of Madrid
The Assembly of Madrid moved to the Entrevías neighbourhood in the Puente de Vallecas district in 1998, in an effort to rebalance the city’s institutional map.
The Assembly is made up of two buildings that form a homogeneous complex of modern architecture, whose exterior is characterised by a glass clock tower, granite and glass façades and an imposing exposed concrete colonnade that forms the external atrium.
Inside, a glass cube houses the large semicircular chamber, a symbol of how the work of the legislative body is transparent and open to the society it represents. The alabaster and wood chamber features unique lighting and a mural by Lucio Muñoz entitled “The Unfinished City”.
Outside the cube is the Gallery of Portraits of the Presidents of the Assembly and the old Speaker’s Rostrum from the Assembly’s previous seat in the old Caserón de San Bernardo. There are two works in the remarkably large western atrium: “Madrid from Vallecas” by the painter Antonio López and “The Time that the Newspapers Announce” by the Valencian artist Juan Genovés.
