Matadero Madrid is a group of 48 buildings in the south of Madrid that holds different cultural and social activities (art exhibits, theatre, ballet, design, etc.), promoted by the Madrid city council. From 1924 to 1996 the buildings were used as the slaughterhouse ("Matadero" in spanish) and livestock market for the city, and from that date it is being gradually converted into a cultural space.
It serves as the offices for several organizations as the Spanish National Dance Company, the Spanish Ballet Company, the Fundación ARCO, and the Junta Municipal de Distrito de Arganzuela (Arganzuela district hall).
The initiative to convert the old municipal slaughterhouse (a plot of 148,300 m2) into the city’s biggest centre for contemporary creation and a leading international space dedicated to present-day creation was carried out by the Madrid Council’s Department of the Arts, in collaboration with other public and private bodies.
