Clock tower, Centro Canalejas, cnr Calle Sevilla and Calle Alcalá

            Tower of a former bank now converted into a luxury hotel and upmarket shopping mall.  Canalejas  Project .

Between 1867 and 1885, the City Council carried out a redevelopment process in the center of Madrid to adapt it to the new needs of road traffic and adapt some streets to the standards of a European capital.

Resolving the meeting with the streets of Príncipe and de la Cruz, the Plaza de las Cuatro Calles, current Plaza de Canalejas, and the site that Centro Canalejas Madrid occupies today.

This operation, a few years after the transformation of Puerta del Sol, constituted another step in the process of dignifying the historic center, whose greatest exponent was the opening of Gran Vía in 1910.
