Edificio Simeón, Modernist building in Puerta del Sol, Vigo, Spain.

The Edificio Simeón features a central dome above its commercial ground floor and four residential levels decorated with floral patterns and animal figures.

Architect Benito Gómez Román designed this structure in 1906, with construction completed in 1911 by contractor Antonio González Romero.

The building exhibits French-influenced eclecticism and Viennese design elements through its flat forms and vegetal wreaths decorating the discs and column capitals.

Located at number 6 Puerta del Sol, the ground floor houses commercial spaces while the upper four floors contain residential apartments.

A carved medallion on the first-floor lintel depicts the architect's grandmother, created by Gómez Román himself as a personal tribute.
