Description

Building designed in 1948 by the architect Manuel Cabanyens y Mata. It is an example of monumentalist academic architecture, although it displays some classicist forms. Its main feature is its symmetry, with the rounded chamfer which divides the building and acts as the main entrance serving as axis. In this chamfer one must point out the towered body rising in the upper part and the classicist decoration, absent in the rest of the building. The chamfer ends in a circular pavilion with matching Tuscan columns and a niche with a seated figure, representing the insurance company. At first-floor level there is a cornice, on the ceiling of the building there is a a similar one, and on the second floor there is a continuous balcony supported on elongated corbels.
