[ES] Esta espectacular chimenea de Madrid, exenta del edificio, obra del gran arquitecto Ricardo Velázquez Bosco es, sin duda, la más elaborada y llamativa del paisaje capitalino.

Tras la verja, la chimenea del ministerio puede disfrutarse desde la cuesta de Moyano mientras uno visita los puestos de libros antiguos.

Realizada durante la tercera reforma del edificio, en 1885, en el estilo ecléctico que predomina en todo el conjunto, destaca por sus detalles neorománicos. Y el remate-capitel de la chimenea, en forma de corona, con sus arcos y columnas en miniatura, la hacen única.

[EN] This spectacular chimney in Madrid, free from the building, the work of the great architect Ricardo Velázquez Bosco is, without a doubt, the most elaborate and striking in the capital's landscape.

Behind the fence, the chimney of the ministry can be enjoyed from the Moyano slope while one visits the old book stalls.

Carried out during the third reform of the building, in 1885, in the eclectic style that prevails in the whole complex, it stands out for its neo-Romanesque details. And the top-capital of the fireplace, in the shape of a crown, with its arches and miniature columns, make it unique.
