Carabanchel Prison, Madrid
2001
2013
This visual record documents the transformation of the former Carabanchel Prison site in Madrid over a twelve-year period. The historic penitentiary facility, visible in the 2001 imagery, occupied a significant portion of the urban landscape. By 2013, the site had undergone complete redevelopment, with new residential areas and infrastructure networks replacing the previous institutional use.
The comparison illustrates the broader pattern of land use transitions characteristic of Spanish urban development during this era, where large institutional parcels were converted to residential and mixed-use zones.
