Calle de Ulpiana Benito
It bears the name of Ulpiana Benito, owner of the land through which this street of 1931 Tetuán was laid out.
The name belongs to Ulpiana Benito, and only one thing about her has been recorded: she owned the land through which the street was laid out. The road was named in 1931, in the Tetuán of those years, and its documented history amounts to that. The name survives without the person.
Those scant hundred metres form today one side of the so-called Golden Triangle, the block they close together with Bravo Murillo, Capitán Haya and José Castán Tobeñas, in one of the most expensive office districts in Madrid. The given name, Ulpiana, comes from the Latin Ulpius, that of the gens of the emperor Trajan.
