Bancaja Cultural Center

Work of the architect Antoni Gómez Davo. Purist language with neo-baroque influences, which is used to create the image of great prosperity, wealth and grandiloquence, typical of banks; The façade is arranged with respect to the chamfer, which means with the large access door, and is topped with a tower.

In its composition, the granite base differs with large padded columns, the central body made of exposed brick and the profusely decorated crowning body. Building facing three streets, its floor plan is articulated around a patio covered with a colored skylight around which the offices are arranged. The Bancaja Cultural Center is the result of the union of two historic buildings: the headquarters of the old Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Valencia, from the early twentieth century, and the former residence of Manuel Gómez Fos, from the late nineteenth century. The rehabilitation, carried out in 2007 by architects Pablo Martínez Montesa, José Ricardo Martínez Montesa and José Alberto Jordá Albiñana, meant the union of both buildings and allowed the creation of the current Bancaja Cultural Center with an area of 12,000 square meters.
