Palacio de Comunicaciones Review
This ornate building on the southeast side of Plaza de la Cibeles, built at the start of the 20th century, is a massive stone compound of French, Viennese, and traditional Spanish influences. It first served as the city's main post office and, after renovations, it now also houses the office of the mayor of Madrid, several exhibition halls, and a bar/restaurant with panoramic views of the city (set up open by fall 2011).
