About the place

Casa de las Alhajas anchors Plaza de San Martín as a historic civic landmark.

Casa de las Alhajas stands on Plaza de San Martín in central Madrid. The building functioned historically as the jewel pawnshop and depository for the municipal savings institution. Its brick facade and classical detailing mark the transition of the district into a civic finance center. Today the surrounding square functions as an urban corridor connecting commercial avenues with residential side streets.
