House of the Dragons, Eclectic architecture building at Plaza de los Reyes, Spain.

The House of the Dragons occupies a corner location at the intersection of Paseo de Camoens and Calle Millán Astray, featuring three floors of detailed stonework.

Francisco Cerni González, who served as Mayor of Ceuta from 1897 to 1903, commissioned architect José María Manuel Cortina Pérez to design this building in 1900.

The building contained the Casino Africano and later became the headquarters for the Spanish Falange party following the 1936 revolution.

The structure underwent significant restoration works in 1973 and 1996, during which the original green tiles were replaced with marble plates.

Four resin and fiberglass dragons, weighing 200 kilograms each, were installed on the roof in 2006 to replace the original bronze sculptures from 1905.
