Calle del Doctor Marco Corera
Honors Luis Marco Corera, a 19th-century Madrid physician, disciple and collaborator of the surgeon Federico Rubio y Galí.
Marco Corera (1851-1925) was also a writer and collector, and collaborated with Federico Rubio y Galí in several of his foundations.
The calle del Doctor Marco Corera runs through Ciudad Jardín, in Chamartín, skirting one side of the Parque de Berlín.
That park holds three original fragments of the Berlin Wall, given to Madrid in 1990 shortly after it fell, still bearing the graffiti they had when the wall still divided the city. Walking the street, you have on one side the name of a 19th-century doctor and, on the other, a piece of concrete that once stood at the center of Europe.
