Casa de les Bruixes, Valencian Art Nouveau building in central Alicante, Spain.
Casa de les Bruixes is a three-story building with elaborate decorations covering its front wall. The facade features ornate floral designs, elephant heads, cherubs, and lion sculptures that catch the eye from the street.
The building was designed by architect Enrique Sanchez Sedenyo in 1898 in the Art Nouveau style. It underwent expansions between 1910 and 1911 that added gothic influences from northern European traditions.
The structure represents the architectural evolution during Spain's industrial development, combining Valencian Art Nouveau with Viennese-style windows and decorative patterns.
The building now serves as the official headquarters of the Valencian Government Presidency and sits on Doctor Gadea Street in the city center. Visitors should plan to view the impressive facade from the street, which is where the main visual appeal lies.
The name Casa de les Bruixes means Witches' House, a name that came from when the building was abandoned and fell into disrepair. A major renovation in 1990 returned it to its current restored condition.
