The Bank of Spain building in Málaga, Spain, was designed by José Yárnoz Larrosa and built between 1933 and 1936. Its neoclassical style is evident in its imposing portico, hexastyle of the Corinthian order, which presides over the front facing the Parque. This hexastyle portico is the main feature of the building and represents an architectural connection to historicism, though it also embodies the aesthetic of 1930s fascism. The building, situated on Paseo del Parque between the Ayuntamiento and the Antigua Casa de Correos, has three floors and was designed to resemble a grand public edifice. Its design reflects the ambitions of the period and offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between architecture and politics.
