"Antonio López Hernández, 1912.
This bourgeois residence, linked to the family of the Coruña actor Fernando Casado D'Arambillet (known as Fernando Rey), expresses abroad, with its overflowing decoration, the economic power of its inhabitants.
English Pre-Raphaelite painting of the late 19th century and Modernism reach their maximum perfection here. This urban palace pampers its inhabitants by having an open loggia or balcony in the main hall to enjoy the bustle of the city. To see and not be seen.
A large garland of roses adorns it theatrically and leads our gaze to the great female caryatid that dominates the ensemble. Its decorative grammar makes it the most beautiful house in the city."
