Located in the square that gives its name to the Salamanca District, in the most emblematic area of Madrid.
The Salamanca District owes its layout of square blocks, tree-lined streets, and placid livability to an urban plan focused on the expansion of the city. It reflects the good taste of its major builder and promoter, Don José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, from whom it also takes its name.
Always a reference point for the upper classes, it has become one of the most important areas of the city and one of the highest standard-of-living districts in Europe, with the best shopping area in Madrid around Serrano, Claudio Coello, and Ortega y Gasset streets.
