Instituto Oftálmico Nacional, Medical building in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain

The National Ophthalmic Institute occupies a three-story building with two interior courtyards, located at 17 General Arrando Street in Madrid.

The institute, completed in 1902 by architect José Urioste y Velada, originated from a charitable legacy by Francisco de las Herrerías y del Arco.

This specialized center maintains its medical heritage through continuous education programs and clinical research in ophthalmology for Spanish healthcare professionals.

The institute provides access through multiple public transportation options, with Alonso Martínez metro station serving lines 4, 5, and 10 nearby.

The original operating room of this medical facility has been transformed into a library while preserving the building's historical architectural elements.
