Its eclectic style exudes perfection in form, elegance, and sobriety. You&#8217;ll notice its rectangular base, and the corners are gracefully adorned with towers of circular shape, featuring tambour and enameled domes. The building showcases its beautiful facades facing the Tetu\u00e1n Square, General Tovar Street, and Pouet de Sant Vicent Street.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the building&#8217;s purpose evolved, and it was transformed into residential units. However, in the 1970s, the Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Valencia gradually acquired ownership of these units to expand its central services. Then, in 1978, after establishing a new headquarters on Pintor Sorolla Street, the institution decided to repurpose the Tetu\u00e1n building as a cultural center linked to its social endeavors.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Blackbird Caf\u00e9&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Baroque_Majesty_of_the_Glorieta_Building\"><\/span>The Baroque Majesty of the Glorieta Building<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the other hand, the Glorieta building, also known as the Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Valencia (1932-1934), stands on the site of the 18th-century palace of the Condes de Castrillo y Orgaz, where the entity was initially located. An exemplar of Baroque and Valencian architecture, it shares the rectangular floor plan with the Tetu\u00e1n building and faces Mar Street, General Tovar Street, and Pouet de San Vicent Street. This majestic structure rises to five floors, its facades adorned entirely with stone.<\/p>\n<p>One of its most remarkable features is the ornate design, incorporating elements from various Valencian monuments, showcasing the architect Antonio G\u00f3mez-Dav\u00f3&#8217;s vision to integrate specific architectural and stylistic elements. During the Spanish Civil War, the building became home to the Ministry of Propaganda when the Republic&#8217;s government moved to Valencia in 1936. However, after the war, it was seized by the Falange Espa\u00f1ola Tradicionalista y de las JONS on March 29, 1939.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Glorieta building bore the brunt of the disastrous flood of October 13-14, 1957, which submerged furniture, machinery, and valuable documents in water and mud.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Blackbird Caf\u00e9&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Transformation_for_Culture\"><\/span>A Transformation for Culture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2007, these two remarkable historic buildings underwent a profound transformation to become the current Centro Cultural Bancaja.
