The Casa de las Flores is a block of flats in the Chamberí district of Madrid, designed by Secundino Zuazo in 1931. The distribution of spaces with its central landscaped corridor has provided a model for architecture students studying the fifties and sixties. It is located on the corner of Calle de la Princesa (Hilarión Eslava, Rodríguez San Pedro, Gaztambide and Meléndez Valdés streets), and has balconies decorated with flower boxes, from which the name of the building is derived. The poet Pablo Neruda lived in this house in 1934, and the writer Emilio Carrere lived in it until his death. In 1981, the building began the process of being registered as a bien de interés cultural (cultural heritage) site.
