nice discovery - City Hall of Murcia by Rafael Moneo

City Hall of Murcia
Plaza Cardenal Belluga, s/n
30004
Murcia
Spain
José Rafael Moneo 1991-1998

The annex to the City Hall of Murcia is located in the historical center of the city, in the square Cardinal Belluga, together with the cathedral of the 16th century and the Episcopal Palace from 1768. The big design challenge for Rafael Moneo was to face a modern institutional building opposite two religious buildings of strong historical tradition. Most Murcia citizens still think that Moneo's building should not be located in this square, in spite of the architect's efforts.
