Casa dels Dracs, Art Nouveau residential building in Valencia, Spain

The Casa de los Dragones stands at the intersection of Sorní and Jorge Juan streets, featuring four stories with decorative elements along its facades.

José María Manuel Cortina Pérez designed this residential structure in 1901 during Valencia's first urban expansion, following the municipal ordinances of 1887.

The building exhibits Gothic Revival elements with medieval-style ornaments, including dragons, lizards, and a locomotive motif symbolizing progress at the chamfered corner.

The structure contains two apartments per floor accessed through a pentagonal staircase, with commercial spaces occupying the ground level and mezzanine.

Bronze dragons originally adorned the roof until 1925, replaced in 2006 by four fiberglass replicas weighing less than 200 kilograms each.
