The customs house Carlos III commissioned from Francesco Sabatini in 1761, all but finished by 1769 and modelled on the Italian palaces of the 16th century. It was one of the great civil works of the 18th century on the calle de Alcalá. It still houses the Ministry of Finance and is seen from the street.
