The Palacio Consistorial, present site of the City Hall, is one of the most beautiful examples of modernist architecture of Cartagena (Murcia, Spain). It shows a modernist-eclectic architecture somehow influenced by French design, it was built between 1900 and 1907 by the architects Tomás Rico and Francisco de Paula upon an ancient building of the 18th century. It was inaugurated in 1907. Today it shines in all its splendor, following the recent restoration work ended in 2006.
The picture was taken from “Plaza del Ayuntamiento” trying to get an attractive contrast between the blue intensity of the sky and the warm light of the street lighting.
– Español:
“Palacio Consistorial de Cartagena en la hora azul”.
El Palacio Consistorial, sede del Ayuntamiento, es uno de los más bellos ejemplos de arquitectura modernista de Cartagena (Murcia). Fue construido, en estilo modernista ecléctico de influencia francesa, entre 1900 y1907, por los arquitectos Tomás Rico y Francisco de Paula, sobre un antiguo edificio del siglo XVIII. Hoy día luce en todo su esplendor, tras los recientes trabajos de restauración que finalizaron en 2006.
La fotografía fue tomada desde la Plaza del Ayuntamiento, instantes depués de ponerse el sol, buscando el contraste entre la cálida luz artificial y el intenso azul del cielo en ese mágico momento.

The Casa Botines (built 1892-1893) is a Modernist building in León, Spain designed by Antoni Gaudí. It was adapted to serve as the headquarters of Caja España, a local savings bank.
While Gaudí was finishing the construction of the Episcopal Palace of Astorga, his friend and patron, Eusebi Güell recommended that he build a house in the center of León. Simón Fernández and Mariano Andrés, the owners of a company that bought fabrics from Güell, commissioned Gaudí to build a residential building with a warehouse. The house’s nickname comes from the last name of the company’s former owner, Joan Homs i Botinàs.
In 1929, the savings bank of León, Caja España, bought the building and adapted it to its needs, without altering Gaudí’s original project.
With the Casa de los Botines, Gaudí wanted to pay tribute to León’s emblematic buildings. Therefore, he designed a building with a medieval air and numerous neo-Gothic characteristics. The building consists of four floors, a basement and an attic. Gaudí chose an inclined roof and placed towers in the corners to reinforce the project’s neo-Gothic feel. To ventilate and illuminate the basement, he created a moat around two of the façades, a strategy that he would repeat at the Sagrada Família in Barcelona.
Gaudí placed the owners’ dwellings on the first floor. These are accessed, respectively, by independent doors in the lateral and back façades. The upper floors house rental property and the lower floor contains the company offices. The building’s principal entrance is crowned by a wrought iron inscription with the name of the company and by a stone sculpture of Saint George show as he is slaying a dragon. During the restoration of the building in 1950, workers discovered a tube of lead under the sculpture containing the original plans signed by Gaudí and press clippings from the era.
