| Madrid, Spain |
After several delays and 12 long years of construction, this building finally opened as the Palace of Communications (post office, telegraphs and telephone) for Madrid in 1919. Its design was determined by an open competition set out by the city, with only three groups of architects presenting their projects. The winners were two young Spanish architects by the names of Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi.
The building has changed roles and as of 2007 it is now the City Hall and in 2011 it has also opened its doors as Cultural Center.
