 The unveilings of the gardens of the Buen Retiro in 1876 and the Hipódromo de la Castellana two years later led to the traffic moving to the junction of the Calle de Alcalá and the Paseo del Prado.This led to the disappearance of the Real Pósito and the construction of the Palacio de Linares between 1873 and 1900.The Alcañices Palace or the Duke of Sexto were demolished to make way for the building of the Bank of Spain.
