Bolsa de Madrid

In the same square as the Hotel Ritz, Madrid's stock exchange is a landmark as well as a business centre. Enrique María Repullés won the competition to design it in 1884, with a neo-classical style chosen to reflect that of the nearby Prado museum. The building has two distinct areas: one is the trading area; the other, open to the public, houses an exhibition on the market's history. Visitors are admitted at noon only; phone to arrange a visit.
