Edificio de Seguros La Aurora, Heritage building in Recoletos, Spain
The building occupies 556 square meters at Paseo de Recoletos 4, featuring a corner entrance and five floors topped with a decorative dome.
Architects Agustín Ortíz de Villajos and José Monasterio Arrillaga designed this structure in 1880 as a residential palace for businessman Ramón Pla Monje.
The insurance company La Aurora purchased the property in 1922, adding a bronze quadriga sculpture atop the dome to represent their economic strength.
The structure contains three underground levels, a ground floor, and five upper floors with several entrances on both Paseo de Recoletos and Marqués de Duero streets.
In 1918, the building underwent major modifications, including the addition of two floors and renovation of ornamental elements with baroque influences.
