Matadero Madrid Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
As "Matadero" refers, it was once a slaughterhouse in Madrid, and now it has become a trendy venue for the creation of contemporary art in Madrid. This literary and art district is similar to Beijing's 798. It includes a film database, video studio, office building, restaurant, and two theaters. Art exhibitions are diverse, innovative and free, and young literary and artistic people must come! The former slaughterhouse was a complex consisting of more than 20 warehouses. It was built around 1911 and is a typical industrial building in Madrid in the 20th century. It was used as a livestock market and slaughterhouse for 85 years, and then moved to other places. In 2007, the abandoned building was converted into an arts and cultural district. The architects carried out artistic transformation without destroying the original building, realizing the mixture of old and new buildings, respecting the history and bringing forth the new at the same time.

It is no longer a slaughterhouse. It is better to see the decoration design inside is completely cement hard industrial style. If you like to visit the design exhibition, you can come and hunt.
This place is actually quite sensational, there are not many people, there are almost no tourists, all local people, and many of them are with children to play, very harmonious. There are not many developments here, many buildings are still idle or deserted, only a few are restaurants or exhibition halls, and there is still a lot of potential for development in the future. If you have time, you can come and feel the different Madrid.
Madrid abattoir (Matadero Madrid) is similar to Beijing's 798 art district and Shanghai's M50 creative park, etc., which is an art district built on the basis of abandoned factories. Today, this is the latest contemporary art creation center in Madrid, art exhibitions are diverse, novel and free, and is a must-see for literary youth and art lovers.
Recommended to see. As the name implies, it is a slaughterhouse. But it is no longer a slaughterhouse, but a literary place similar to 798 transformed into an art community.
