Hipódromo de la Zarzuela

The Hipódromo de la Zarzuela is a race course on the outskirts of Madrid, Spain.

The architects were Carlos Arniches Moltó [es] and Martín Domínguez Esteban, who had been collaborating since the 1920s.

For this project, they were joined by the engineer Eduardo Torroja, a pioneer in the design of concrete shell structures.

The new race course was in an advanced state in 1936, but damage caused by the Spanish Civil War delayed completion.
