#1160. Eclectic Facade with Art Nouveau and Neoclassical Elements

The image showcases a magnificent example of eclectic architecture from the late 19th – early 20th century, likely in Art Nouveau style with neoclassical elements. The facade has a symmetrical composition with four vertical axes, formed by arched openings adorned with decorative elements.

The upper part of the facade is crowned with a luxurious semicircular pediment featuring a large shell motif (cartouche), typical of Art Nouveau style. Decorative elements in the form of floral ornaments and classical motifs run along the entire cornice. Particularly eye-catching are the column capitals and pilasters with elaborate stucco work.

Four arched windows on the second floor are adorned with identical semicircular decorative grilles with geometric patterns. The central part of the facade is emphasized by a balcony with an elegant wrought iron railing, while two smaller semicircular balconies are positioned on both sides, creating a harmonious composition. The fine detailing and combination of light-colored plaster with elements of brickwork give the building an exquisite appearance, characteristic of urban architecture in the Mediterranean region.
