Edificio del Banco de España
The Edificio del Banco de España stands in the heart of Málaga, on the Paseo del Parque. You find the City Hall on one side of it and the Old Post Office on the other. The Bank of Spain keeps working premises inside.
José Yárnoz Larrosa designed the building, and construction ran from 1933 to 1936. Neoclassicism was the popular taste of the era. The style gives the bank the stable, symbolic image its headquarters wants to project. A historicist note from the 1930s runs through the design, an aesthetic often associated with fascist architecture. The intention was a grand public building, ancient and contemporary at once.
The building takes its place in the architectural landscape of Andalucía as part of the region's historical heritage. One of its most striking features is the hexastyle portico: six Corinthian columns across the entrance front.
