The façade reveals the monumental character of this part of Melilla. Study symmetry, volumes and details from public space, then compare nearby buildings. This is an institutional seat: the exterior walk does not include halls or unauthorised entry. Check whether a guided activity covers façades only.
Sources checked on 19 October 2026. Opening and access may change. The walk does not include admission; allow extra time for interiors. Routes have not been audited for accessibility.
Plan this visit
Follow a curved façade
The principal façade follows the square’s circular layout and arranges a central block between towers. Follow that curve from a side position before standing opposite the entrance: the relationship between building and public space becomes clearer. Art Deco appears here in the geometry of ornamental elements, offering a useful comparison with Reconquista’s floral language.
One detail to carry into the walk
Choose the presidential balcony and its coat of arms as the focus of the central axis; then compare its representative role with the shop windows of a commercial Ensanche building. This proposal works from outside without assuming access to institutional rooms. If an interior visit is programmed, treat it as a specific experience and use the remaining walk to compare façades.
