Banc Vitalici d'Espanya, Cultural heritage building in Dreta de l'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.
The Generali Building spans 21 floors with four independent sections, featuring a main tower at the intersection of Passeig de Gracia and Gran Via.
Construction plans originated in 1935, but the Spanish Civil War delayed completion until 1950 when Count Gamazo invested in the Banco Vitalicio headquarters.
The structure displays Chicago School influences through symmetrical openings across its facade, incorporating classical columns and sculptural groups at the main entrance.
The ground floor contains 22 commercial spaces connected through Galeria Condal, including the largest H&M store in Spain occupying 5,000 square meters.
The building combines Galician granite and Montjuic stone in its facade, with an open interior courtyard providing natural light through the upper angle passage.
