Beautiful building of Banco de Valencia.
This flatiron building with a curved front was designed during the Spanish Civil War (in 1935) but was built several years later.
Although the architecture is eclectic, the building has the traditional skyscraper form with a base (in two colors of marble),
a shaft of brick with limestone trim, and a top, in this case an unusual cladding of colorful tiles owing to the art nouveau or modernista influence from earlier in the 20th century.
