About the project

A total of more than 1,000 m3 of material was used, which was extracted in rough form from its places of origin in solid blocks and brought to our facilities in Macael, Almería province, for processing. This project constitutes one of the most important institutional supplies executed by Camar, where the magnitude of the work combines with the extremely high technical and aesthetic requirements of an emblematic building of the Spanish State.

The intervention at the historic Bank of Spain headquarters required coordination with heritage agencies and architects specialized in restoration. Each piece of marble was crafted following strict quality protocols, from block selection in the quarry to final finishing. The result respects the original architecture while incorporating contemporary functionality.

The process included selective extraction of solid blocks, transport to workshops, cutting with precision machinery, manual polishing of moldings and decorative elements, and on-site assembly by specialized teams. The scale of the project demonstrates Camar's capacity to undertake works of maximum technical complexity and institutional relevance.

1,000 m³ of Marble

Exceptional volume of natural stone fully processed in Camar's workshops in Macael. Includes extraction of solid blocks from quarry, transport, cutting, polishing and crafting of unique pieces. This magnitude makes the project one of the largest marble interventions carried out in Spanish institutional buildings.

Processing in Macael

All material was processed at Camar's facilities in Almería province, the nerve center of Spain's marble industry. This comprehensive control guaranteed chromatic homogeneity, constant quality and complete traceability from quarry to final installation in Madrid.

Historic Headquarters

The Bank of Spain building on Alcalá street is one of Madrid's architectural icons. The intervention had to respect the original neoclassical architecture while integrating new stone elements in lobbies, monumental staircases, boardrooms and public service areas.
