Casa Sindical, Office building in Centro district, Madrid, Spain.
The Casa Sindical stands as a 16-floor structure with a prismatic tower reaching 60 meters, featuring brick facades and a geometric pattern of windows.
Construction of this administrative building began in 1949 and completed in 1951, with Francisco Franco officiating its opening on October 27, 1955.
The building represents a shift in Spanish architecture as it merged modern design principles with traditional Madrid materials like brick, granite, and limestone.
Located at Paseo del Prado 20, the building currently serves as the headquarters of the Spanish Ministry of Health.
The central block features a cube-shaped design that draws architectural parallels to Giuseppe Terragni's Italian structures of the same period.
