Escrivá's star project eliminates executive offices at the Bank of Spain
The future museum of the institution requires redefining spaces at the Cibeles headquarters. Read
The Banco de España is planning to redefine spaces within its historic headquarters in Madrid's Cibeles square due to the construction of a future museum. The project, led by Governor José Luis Escrivá, may involve eliminating private offices for many employees, with only high-ranking officials retaining theirs. The bank has 3,486 employees and the proposal has generated controversy among those affected.
The museum, set to open in 2029, will feature over 3,500 works of art and a gold chamber built 35 meters underground, which will be open to the public for the first time. The chamber's gold bars will be replicas, while the real ones are stored in a separate secure location.
