Again we are going to look at a building Joaquin Saldaña, dated to a time when the architect, in addition to palace houses, also built collective housing. Without a doubt, Saldaña is one of the architects who created the Madrid that we can see in our times. He Villota Palace It was commissioned by Isidro Villota, built in the Plaza del Marqués de Salamanca, numbers 5 and 6.
The work dates back to 1911, it was completed in 1914. It is currently home to an Abercrombie store in Marqués de Salamanca. Today it has lost part of its ornamentation, but it still looks fantastic despite having already turned a century.
A abrazo.
