Office to Renew in Recoletos Heart

Salamanca : ubicació i entorn d'aquesta propietat

It is located in the heart of Recoletos just steps from El Retiro Park. The Salamanca neighbourhood is one of the most relevant areas of Madrid both for its peculiar distribution and for the neighbours who have traditionally inhabited its emblematic streets. Its construction dates back to the second half of the 19th century and corresponds to the urban expansion carried out during the reign of Isabel II. The precursor to whom it owes its name was the Malaga-born José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, who conceived a new site with a carefully designed building that would house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. In the 19th century style, it is characterised by its special regular layout in the form of a checkerboard with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of special interest thanks to their architectural quality and the beauty of their façades. Traditionally, Salamanca was a residential area, especially inhabited by the country's political and economic elite. In the last fifty years, this residential character has coexisted with other activities such as business, diplomatic and especially commercial activities, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas in the capital. In this district of Madrid, and as a real jewel of the neighbourhood and green lung of the capital, we find the Parque del Buen Retiro.
