Matadero Madrid is the site of a former slaughterhouse, the El Matadero y Mercado Municipal de Ganados in the Arganzuela district of Madrid. Today, it is a contemporary arts centre.
Architect Luis Bellido y González was commissioned by the City Council of Madrid to design the complex. The slaughterhouse and cattle market were built from 1911 and 1925. The project by was structured around a complex of pavilions characterised by functionality, constructive rationality and conceptual simplicity. There is however a historicist element to the architecture, which incorporates Neo-Mudéjar features, such as tiles with abstract designs. The facilities began to be used in 1924 and 1925 and continued operation until the slaughterhouse closed in 1996.
