Tour description

Discover the city's architecture, its multiculturalism and the Art Nouveau of the early 20th century.

Multiculturalism and modernism are two of the attractions of Melilla's culture that we can enjoy through its buildings.

The modernist route of Melilla runs through the city's expansion, the "Golden Triangle" area , so called because of the large number of modernist buildings there.

Starting from Plaza de España, it includes Avenida de Juan Carlos I Rey, the street of the Spanish Army. The Casa Melul, the Casa de los Cristales, the Casa Tortosa, the Aqueduct building, the Chamber of Commerce, the building of the newspaper “El Telegrama del Rif” and La Reconquista, are some of the most outstanding examples.
