Building on Manifestación street, #16

	A pioneering example of "Modernista" architecture in Zaragoza This four-story "modernista" building occupies a promininent site with a corner elevation and facades on both Manifestación street and Santa Isabel. While the building is primarily brick, window moldings stand out in stone. In fact, on each register, the sculptural relief above the windows differs.
