Casa Ortega, Art Nouveau residence in Eixample district, Valencia, Spain
Description
Casa Ortega is a residential building in Valencian Art Nouveau style with a pink-toned front and fine stone carvings. The structure displays decorative windows and ornamental details that mark the building along Gran Via del Marqués del Túria.
History
The building was designed by Manuel Peris Ferrando in 1906, when Valencian Art Nouveau was rapidly spreading across the city. This period marked a wave of new homes that transformed the urban character of Valencia.
Culture
The building shows how craftspeople in Valencia mixed European design trends with local traditions, creating a style that defined the city. You can see this blend in every detail of the front, from the ornaments to the window frames.
Practical
The building sits on Gran Via del Marqués del Túria and can be viewed from the street as part of a walk through the modernist district. The best time for photos is in the morning when light falls gently on the pink front.
Did you know?
The pink tinting of the front was unusual for the time and deliberately differed from the lighter stone facades nearby. This color choice made the house stand out and showed the owner's courage to break from convention.
