Casa Yáñez, Gothic residential building in Plaza de Compostela, Vigo, Spain.

The Casa Yáñez displays a granite stone facade with wooden galleries and Gothic elements across its three floors and an attic level.

Michel Pacewicz designed this structure in 1900 for wood importer Paulino Yáñez after their meeting at the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition.

The building reflects the architectural preferences of Vigo's upper class during the turn of the 20th century through its neo-Gothic design elements.

The structure stands at the intersection of Plaza de Compostela and Velázquez Moreno Street, featuring two distinct main facades with different Gothic designs.

A slightly off-center crenellated tower organizes the window arrangement on the Alameda-facing facade of this historical residence.

Inception: 1900
