#4701. Polychrome Neo-Moorish Facade with Venetian Motifs

The photograph showcases an exquisite building facade in an eclectic style with distinct Neo-Moorish and Venetian architectural features. The primary wall color is a rich red (terracotta), which creates a striking contrast with the white decorative elements.

The upper part of the facade is adorned with a richly ornamented frieze featuring geometric and floral motifs in a red and white color scheme. Especially prominent are the Moorish-style arched elements—horseshoe arches with elegant columns—creating a loggia or portico on the second floor.

The facade is structured with symmetrical balconies featuring white balustrades of classical design. The windows are framed with decorative casings and topped with arched elements. A noteworthy feature is the diagonal texturing of the wall finish, creating the effect of a three-dimensional diamond pattern against the red background.

The lower section of the building includes elegant semicircular windows with grilles, characteristic of Mediterranean architecture. The combination of architectural elements from various styles indicates a period of historicism, possibly from the late 19th century, when borrowing elements from different architectural traditions was popular.
