The MUST-SEE Contemporary Architecture in Madrid

Last Updated: 10 August 2019

Below is our MUST-SEE Contemporary Architecture in Madrid. I hope you find it useful as you walk its streets (there’s a map at the bottom to guide you around). As you see with the date at the top, this list is always updating as new projects are completed. If you want to see your photo featured, hashtag #AVONTUURA on Instagram and I will try my best to include it.

Onwards!
