Mansion of the Marquis of Riestra
Mansion of the Marquis of Riestra, Private mansion on Michelena Street, Pontevedra, Spain
The three-story mansion displays a pink-orange brick facade with continuous bossages and English balustrades across its exterior surfaces.
Built in 1900 for José Riestra López, the building initially served as both a private residence and the headquarters of Bank Riestra.
The mansion represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Spanish bankers during the early 20th century through its eclectic design elements.
