Torre Llagostera: A Spanish Hybrid

Torre Llagostera, often referred to as Huerto de la Bolas in El Bohío, is a captivating Spanish hybrid. Built in 1903 by architect Víctor Beltrí, this countryside villa mirrors the style of previous constructions by Carlos Mancha. The architecture of Torre Llagostera is defined by its cast-iron marquis, a distinctive element from the beginning. The porch showcases a design reminiscent of a quiosco or greenhouse, minus the glass. A four-story square tower, topped with a small terrace and enclosed by a balustrade that subtly curves like a balcony, adorns the left end of the main facade.

The balcony is embellished with four ceramic flower boxes, inspired by the work of Gaudí. Ceramic was extensively used throughout the main facade, forming distinctive bands. In the porch, ceramic covers all walls with intricate decorative compositions. Torre Llagostera can be found in Cartagena, Region of Murcia, Spain.
