( Worth Seeing )
One of the city's first skyscrapers, the Telefónica was designed by American architect Lewis Weeks. Opened in 1929 as the headquarters of Spain's national telephone service, it symbolised the country's move into the modern era. A few years later, Franco's gunners used its 81m height as a gauge for shelling the Gran Vía during the Siege of Madrid. Take time to see the telephone company's collection of paintings and sculptures by Spanish artists such as Picasso, Chillida, Gris and Tapiès. Enter via the side door at Calle de Fuencarral 3.
