Casa Vicent, Art Nouveau commercial building in Santo Ildefonso, Portugal
Casa Vicent exhibits an undulating iron facade with ornate floral motifs, shell-like forms, and intricate golden cast iron decorations across its two-story structure.
Built in the early 1900s during Porto's economic growth, the building was named after its first occupant, a Spanish merchant who established his business there.
The structure combines Art Nouveau and Rococo design elements, reflecting the architectural influences of the Companhia Aliança firm in Porto's commercial district.
Located on Rua Professor Vicente José de Carvalho, the building maintains its original interior features, including gilded counters and period-specific lighting fixtures.
The building's cast iron facade design shares similarities with other structures by Companhia Aliança on Rua 31 de Janeiro, featuring distinctive plant-inspired patterns.
