Casa de la Carnicería, Historical building in Plaza Mayor, Madrid, Spain
The Casa de la Carnicería stands on the southern side of Plaza Mayor with four levels, including a porticoed ground floor and angular towers.
Built in the late 17th century as a central meat warehouse for Madrid's markets, the structure underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1631.
The building reflects the architectural evolution of Madrid, featuring a red facade that matches other structures in Plaza Mayor.
Located in central Madrid, the Casa de la Carnicería now functions as a four-star hotel operated by the Portuguese chain Pestana.
The building served multiple municipal functions throughout its history, including a fire station, newspaper library, and city council offices.
