El Palacio de Cibeles, llamado antes Palacio de Comunicaciones o Palacio de Telecomunicaciones

La terraza-mirador esta cerrado julio y agosto por altas temperaturas. Desde la planta 5 puedes ver muy buena vista. (Foto). Entrada gratuïta con exposiciones temporales en el interior

Voormalig postkantoor en paleis van de communicatie en nu het stadhuis. Bovenin is een panorama terras, hier moet je kaartjes voor kopen en in de zomermaanden is het vanwege de warmte gesloten. Gebouw is gratis toegankelijk en je kan er wisselende tentoonstellingen zien en een tentoonstelling over het gebouw zelf. Als je van architectuur houdt, zou ik het zeker bezoeken.
