Former Banco Central Hispano headquarters, Banking landmark in Sol district, Madrid, Spain
The former headquarters of Banco Central Hispano features a double-height main banking floor with ground level and mezzanine sections at Plaza Canalejas.
Construction of this monumental banking structure began in 1902 under the direction of architect Eduardo Adaro, incorporating spaces for banking, offices, and apartments.
The restoration project preserved 16,700 historical elements within the building, including original stained glass, plasterwork, and metalwork from the early 20th century.
The building now functions as an entrance to La Galería shopping mall, offering retail and dining options in the center of Madrid.
During the 1940s expansion, the bank acquired multiple adjacent properties, connecting them through renovations to create an integrated architectural complex.
