Built in 1928, the Casa del Chavo originally served as the headquarters of Valencia’s National Institute of Welfare, which managed healthcare, pensions and disability benefits. At the time, workers were required to contribute a chavo—a ten-cent coin—to the welfare fund. The building was ironically nicknamed Casa del Chavo by the locals, and the name stuck. During the Second Spanish Republic, it served as a ministerial headquarters. Today, it houses the offices of the regional treasury of Social Security. There used to be five bells at the top of the building, connected to a mechanical clock. One of the four smaller bells used to mark the quarter hours, until it was stolen by a worker during renovation works. Luckily, it was recovered by police in 2016 after an anonymous tip-off. Quite the story, isn’t it?
