Edificio de viviendas Casa de las Mariposas, Residential building in central Almería, Spain
The Casa de las Mariposas stands at the intersection of Granada Street and Puerta de Purchena, featuring four floors and a prominent corner tower with a dome.
Trinidad Cuartara designed this residential structure in 1909, building it on the site of a former inn to represent the economic power of the Almería bourgeoisie.
The building displays modernist elements throughout its facade, with decorative railings and butterfly ornaments adorning the tower, reflecting masonic symbolism of resurrection and protection.
The financial group Cajamar purchased the building in 2008 and transformed it into an institutional space with a meeting room that accommodates 270 people.
A glass placed during the 1911 completion celebration remained on top of the tower for 99 years, surviving weather conditions and Spanish Civil War bombings.
