This building is attributed to Demetrio Ribes, the architect of the North Station; which could not be confirmed or denied. The building is also influenced by the Viennese modernist school (Viennese Secession).
This market was designed by Francisco Mora Berenguer. It consists of a rectangular metal framework on cast iron pillars and two monumental brick facades. Its surface is delimited by a fence.
The market was built, in part, on the grounds of the old Marqués de Campo gas factory.
The Mercado de Colón was inaugurated in 1916. Being empty and in a state of ruin, its restoration was undertaken in 1997.
In 2003 it was inaugurated again. It was given a new use by turning it into a commercial and leisure center. His rehabilitation won the Europa Nostra award. In 2007 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
Its surface is 3,500 m2. Its central nave is 18 m. high and its side aisles 15 m. Unlike the Mercado Central, the Mercado de Colón is an open construction.
This building is the work of the architect J. M. Manuel Cortina Pérez, who is also the author of other buildings in the expansion area.
The style of the House of Dragons has been defined as "fantastic medievalism".
Among its decoration, the dragons stand out as a corbel and the locomotive seen from the front of its main façade, located on the chamfer. The locomotive has the star of the Northern Railway Company.
This building is a 1908 work by the architect Vicente Ferrer Pérez who, together with Demetrio Ribes, is one of the best representatives of the influence of Viennese modernism (Viennese Secession) in Valencia. This current came to Valencia through a congress of architects held in Madrid in 1904, attended by the Viennese architect Otto Wagner. We must also highlight the influence of various publications on the Secession, which arrived in Valencia around 1900.
The building stands out for its innovative interior layout and its geometric lines with touches of ceramic decoration. It is influenced by Behrens, D’Aronco and Hoffmann. It is at the crossroads of Cirilo Amorós and Pizarro streets. It was restored in 2012.
The of the photo you can see the Chapa buildings (1909), made by three different architects, but who maintained the compositional unity of the façade. No. 65 of the Gran Vía Marqués del Túria conserves the original decoration inside.
This square was called, from 1936 to 1939, Plaza de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
The fountain in the middle of the square is a monument to the Marquis of Campo and was made by Mariano Benlliure.
The landscaping of the central space, of this Gran Vía, was designed by Francisco Mora in 1912. From its early days it still conserves the cast iron street lamps, which at the beginning of the 20th century still worked with gas.
The width of this Gran Vía and that of Germanías, as well as that of Fernando el Católico and Ramón y Cajal, was established at 50 m.
