Casa de les Bruixes, Valencian Art Nouveau building in central Alicante, Spain.

Casa de les Bruixes spans three floors with ornate floral motifs, elephant heads, cherubs, and lion sculptures adorning its decorated facade.

Architect Enrique Sánchez Sedeño designed this building in 1898, with subsequent expansions and modifications completed in 1911 that incorporated northern Gothic elements.

The structure represents the architectural evolution during Spain's industrial development, combining Valencian Art Nouveau with Viennese-style windows and decorative patterns.

Currently functioning as the official headquarters of the Valencian Government Presidency in Alicante, the building occupies 1,556 square meters on Doctor Gadea Street.

The building earned its name Casa de les Bruixes, meaning Witches' House, during a period of abandonment before its renovation in 1990.
