Hermanos Falcó, Residential district in southeastern Albacete, Spain.
Hermanos Falcó is a residential district in southeastern Albacete defined by three white high-rise towers placed at key positions within the area. Surrounding these towers are residential blocks and attached houses that create a mixed housing development.
The district was designed in 1962 by architects Adolfo Gil and Alfonso Crespo, with construction finishing in 1974. This housing project was part of Albacete's urban expansion during the post-Franco transition period.
The neighborhood takes its name from the Falcó family, particularly Carmen Falcó, who owned the land and held a position in local government during Franco's era. This naming reflects the area's roots in the city's mid-twentieth century development.
The area is well connected to central Albacete through multiple bus lines and includes basic educational facilities such as a public school and municipal nursery. The three white towers serve as easy visual landmarks for navigation within and around the neighborhood.
The development combines three tall towers with numerous four-story residential blocks, creating a varied and layered street view. This mix of different building heights reflects the practical housing approach of the 1960s and 1970s design.
