Edificio El Moderno, Historic building in central Vigo, Spain
Located at Policarpo Sanz Street corner with Carral Street, Edificio El Moderno exhibits French architectural elements with stone balconies and Corinthian columns.
The Polish-French architect Michel Pacewicz designed this rental housing building for Count of Torrecedeira Manuel Bárcena Franco, completing construction in 1902.
The building represents the architectural transformation of Vigo during the early 1900s, featuring expert stonework craftsmanship and neobaroque decorative elements.
The structure contains six floors including a basement, ground level, mezzanine, three upper floors, and an attic space named El Palomar.
The corner facade connects two symmetrical wings through a rounded section that originally featured a decorative dome, later modified during renovations.
