In the chamfer, above the main door, the sculptures of Camilo Nogueira Martínez from Vigo stand out , representing a family protected by the “insurance”. Jenaro de la Fuente separated the light dynamic forms of the terraces of the Aurora from the nearby buildings with a blind vertical band in which granite bas -reliefs are embedded with the name of the insurance company that promoted the building and a series of art -inspired motifs. deco _ The typography used and the design of the sculptural elements confirm the formal conception of modernity that characterized the last period of the architect's career, who died the year the work was complete.

The building was built in 1959 by Jenaro de La Fuente, and was the first example o fRacionalism here. Was restored in 2006.
