“De Madrid al cielo” VI Concurso de fotografía del Museo de Historia de Madrid

An exhibition of the photographs selected in the sixth edition of the photography competition of the Museum of Madrid History, a view of the capital from its lookouts, rooftops and streets.

The exhibition gathers the images chosen in the sixth edition of this photography competition run by the Museum of Madrid History, organised together with the Planetarium of Madrid. The works aim to leave a visual record of the city and explore the relationship between its buildings and the sky above them. Visitors find views taken from lookouts, rooftops, squares and narrow streets, with everyday moments captured at dawn, at dusk, during storms or under clear skies.

The pieces reflect different photographers' takes on Madrid's light and how the appearance of architecture changes with the weather and the time of day. Among the award-winning photographs are "El guardián del firmamento" by Antonio Farto Casado, first prize; "Atardecer en Madrid" by José Luis Morcillo Amo, second prize; and "Cuádrigas en el cielo de Madrid" by Marcelino Díaz Zabala, third prize.
