Once a power station called Central Del Mediodía from the 1900s, CaixaForum Madrid is a cultural center located in Madrid, Spain. The building was designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and built by Ferrovial between 2001 and 2007. It is owned by the not-for-profit banking foundation "la Caixa".
Located on Paseo del Prado, the art center opened its doors in 2008. It hosts temporary art exhibitions and cultural events. The site is home to the Vertical Garden by Patrick Blanc at the square, which is also well-known.
Situated at number 36 on Paseo del Prado, the cultural center serves as a venue for the community to experience contemporary art and various cultural events in a repurposed industrial space.
