Old House

Casa Vella is a stately style building present in the city of Valencia, specifically on Roteros street, on the corner with Pintor Fillol street.

The building dates from the eighteenth century and although its infrastructure deteriorated over the years, some iconic details lasted until very recently. These elements and its privileged location in the Carmen neighborhood popularized Casa Vella among residents, turning it into an architectural reference of the time.

The most characteristic feature of Casa Vella is its cubic volumetry and its stone door with Doric columns and semicircular arch, which have been preserved until today.

Casa Vella was built using load-bearing walls and wooden beams and is arranged between ground floor, mezzanine and two other floors. For the period in which it was built it had imposing dimensions that, together with the rest of the architectural details, gave it that stately character with which it has come to us.

Its facades have a molded cornice and windows aligned on vertical axes, which coexist next to balconies also of great size, which have broken space and parapets made of cast iron.

The interior courtyard of Casa Vella also keeps its architectural interest, especially with regard to the viewpoint. It is a design elaborated in 1889 by the Valencian architect Joaquín María Belda, creator of many constructions of the city that have gone down to posterity as other examples of architecture of the nineteenth century such as the Santa Monica Station and the Model Prison of Valencia.

Casa Vella was restored a few years ago in order to avoid further deterioration, although in the process much of its original aesthetic disappeared, although the color that initially always presented was also recovered. It was recently sold into private hands to be converted into hotel accommodation.
