LA BISBAL D'EMPORDÀ, Catalunya, Spain. Torre Maria

Torre Maria.
Carrer de l'Aigüeta, 17-21.

The Torre Maria, in the Noucentista style, was commissioned in 1932 by Ángel Pérez, a Cuban settler in the region, who was the beneficiary of a great inheritance. The building is surrounded by gardens. It is currently owned by the town council and houses municipal offices and a tourist office. In the image you can see the left side façade, with the access ramp to the entrance and a gallery of arches topped by one of the first floor terraces of the building with balustrades.

BARCELONA, Spain. Santa Caterina Market

Santa Caterina Market (Ciutat Vella district).

The current market was built in 1848 on an old convent by the Catalan architects Josep Boixareu i Gallart (1804-1871) and Francesc Vallès i Cuchí (1797-1879), dating from 1848. It was remodeled in 1864 by another architect, Miquel Garriga i Roca (1808-1888). But the final remodeling, which is what is seen in the image, is due to the FMBT Architecture Studio, formed by Enric Miralles (1955-2000) and Benedetta Tagliabue (b. 1963). It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005. It is characterized, above all, by the curved shapes of the roof, covered with 4,200 square meters of ceramic mosaic in the colors of fruits and vegetables (see second photo).
