Mario Adrion - EU Tour - Madrid (2nd show)

The Palacio de la Prensa is a historic brick-clad building in central Madrid, Spain, situated at number 46 on Gran Vía and designed by architect Pedro Muguruza. Construction began in 1924 and was completed by 1928, with its official inauguration in April 1930. Originally commissioned as the headquarters for the Asociación de la Prensa de Madrid, it was one of the first multifunctional structures on Gran Vía, integrating offices, assembly halls, and public amenities. It has endured as a cultural landmark, transitioning from press-centric functions to hosting a cinema, operational since 1929, known for original-version subtitled films. The building, noted for its neoclassical-revival style, also hosts contemporary events such as premieres, theater performances, spectacles, conferences, and presentations. Since 2017, it has been declared a 'Bien de Interés Patrimonial' (Asset of Cultural Interest). The cinema entrance is also referenced at Plaza Callao, 4.
