The Dominant Transformation: The 1935-1939 Construction of the Bank of Spain in

The Bank of Spain building in Córdoba, a proclamation of capital, was constructed between 1935 and 1939. Designed by the brilliant architect Secundino Zuazo Ugalde, it replaced the Salón Ramírez, a turn-of-the-century cinema and variety theater, on the city’s main avenue. The L-shaped structure is a marvel, its public space inspired by the old Aljama Mosque in Córdoba. The primary body of the building is made of granite, featuring a large inner courtyard. The main entrance, following a neo-Renaissance design, boasts large Corinthian columns, providing a fascinating break from the symmetry typically found in Renaissance facades. The Bank of Spain building in Córdoba, which underwent Monumental II protection by the Córdoba Urban Planning Plan (PGOU), is now a privately protected garden, with a total investment amounting to 0 euros.
