The Telefónica building is located in Gran Vía number 28 in Madrid and it was constructed during
00:00:00
three years since 1926 to 1929 by the architect Ignacio Cárdenas who used a neo-baroque style
00:00:07
as well as new technologies and that's the reason for which he was so admired at that time.
00:00:16
The Telefónica building was the tallest building in Madrid until 1953 when the building at Plaza
00:00:22
España was constructed and the regulations of the city council in Madrid needed to be
00:00:32
changed because this building exceeded the maximum height that was 35 meters at that time
00:00:41
and nowadays the Telefónica building is the 16th tallest building in Madrid. The first public act
00:00:50
that took place in the building was the first communication between Spain and the United States
00:00:57
that put into contact the King Alfonso XIII with the president of the United States at that time
00:01:02
on October the 13th of 1928. But the first inauguration, the official inauguration of the
00:01:10
building took place the 1st of January of 1930 but six months earlier in July it began to be used.
00:01:18
Two exchanges were put into operation one urban and one long distance which made it possible
00:01:27
to serve 20,000 telephone lines and operated 24 hours a day and during the Spanish civil war
00:01:34
due to its great height it was used by the popular republican army as a military observatory
00:01:42
because it was the best observation point in the city. For this reason it was one of the objectives
00:01:50
of the artillery action of Franco's army and later in 1992 the King Juan Carlos I
00:01:57
inaugurated a reform of the building putting a cultural space and the headquarters of
00:02:06
the Fundación Telefónica on the first four floors of the building.
