Edificio Grassy, Eclectic architecture building at Gran Via, Madrid, Spain
The Edificio Grassy occupies a triangular plot at the intersection of Gran Via and Calle Caballero de Gracia, featuring a circular tower with Renaissance elements.
Architect Eladio Laredo designed this structure in 1916, completing its construction in 1917 during the modernization period of Madrid under Bourbon influence.
The basement contains the Clock Museum, displaying 500 timepieces from the 16th to 19th centuries, including specimens formerly owned by European royal families.
Visitors need advance reservations to access the Clock Museum, while the ground floor houses a jewelry store specializing in luxury watches since 1952.
A historical plaque indicates that French writer Théophile Gautier resided in this location during spring 1840, before the current building existed.
