Seat of the Assembly of Madrid

The design of the main chamber as a glass cube within a triangular building was carried over from the plan for Retiro, although scaled down due to the smaller new site.

The Assembly of Madrid was previously seated in the Caserón de San Bernardo, a former Jesuit building in the centre of the capital city.

Pedro Díez, the president of the Assembly (United Left; IU), campaigned for the legislature to instead be built in the city's disadvantaged south.
