Casa Sindical

Casa Sindical is a 16-floor office building in Madrid's Centro district featuring a prismatic tower of approximately 60 meters (195 feet) in height. The facade displays geometric window patterns combined with brick and stone elements arranged in a structured composition.

Construction began in 1949 and the building was completed in 1951, officially opening several years later. It was built during a period when Madrid was developing its modern infrastructure and administrative facilities.

The building combines modern design with traditional Madrid materials such as brick and stone, creating a blend of contemporary and local architectural styles. This mix remains visible in how the structure sits within its urban surroundings.

The building sits on Paseo del Prado in the heart of the city and is easily accessible by public transport or on foot from nearby areas. The interior is not open to visitors as it houses government offices and administrative functions.

The building's central block features a cube-shaped design that reflects architectural trends from the same period seen in contemporary European buildings. This geometric emphasis was particularly forward-thinking for administrative structures of that era.
