Edifici Cortina I, Gothic Revival residence in Eixample, Spain.
Description
Edifici Cortina I is a Gothic Revival residence in Valencia with lobed arches on cast iron columns and expansive windows throughout. Two slender towers frame the structure and create a distinctive profile that sets it apart from surrounding buildings.
History
The building was constructed between 1896 and 1901 under architect José María Manuel Cortina Pérez's direction. Its completion coincided with Valencia's period of economic growth, when the city was building many new public and private structures.
Culture
The facade displays four winged dragons atop the towers and one at the entrance, reflecting medieval design choices. These ornaments give the building a dramatic and decorative character that remains striking today.
Practical
The building is located at Carrer Fèlix Pizcueta 3 and is easily recognizable from the street. Since there are no elevators, visitors should note that access to upper floors depends on navigating the staircase systems.
Did you know?
The ground floor and mezzanine display a rough finish that imitates stone, creating a distinct base section within the red brick structure. This deliberate design choice visually separates the lower area from the rest of the facade.
