Casa de Hortelano, Museum building in Plaza de la Catedral, Albacete, Spain.
The green-colored Casa de Hortelano displays neogothic pinnacles, glazed tiles, and palace-style windows across its eclectic architectural design.
The building, commissioned in 1912 by Joaquín Hortelano and designed by Daniel Rubio Sánchez, initially served as offices for the Banco Vitalicio de España insurance company.
The Municipal Knife Museum occupies the building since 2004, presenting collections that document the knife-making traditions of Albacete through exhibitions and artifacts.
The museum opens its doors to visitors in the center of Albacete, with clear directional signs guiding people from the nearby public transportation stops.
Each floor of Casa de Hortelano contains different sections dedicated to knife craftsmanship, from historical collections to contemporary manufacturing techniques.
