House of the Seven Chimneys, Protected historical government building in Plaza del Rey, Madrid, Spain.
The House of the Seven Chimneys displays baroque architectural elements with its distinctive set of seven rooftop chimneys and rectangular windows distributed across its facade.
Built between 1574 and 1577 by architect Antonio Sillero, the building served as residence for British ambassador Sir Richard Fanshawe during the seventeenth century.
The structure housed the Women's Lyceum Club during Primo de Rivera's regime, marking its role in Spanish feminist cultural movements of the twentieth century.
Located near Banco de España and Chueca metro stations, the building currently functions as part of the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports.
During renovations in the nineteenth century, workers discovered human remains and a coin bag from Philip II's era within the basement walls.
