Valencia is one of the most important cities of Spain and when we speak we must speak Spanish Modernism valence and buildings

Valencia Modernist architecture was influenced directly from the city of Barcelona, in which there were the beginnings of this movement in Spain, Valencia is identified with the way how the Catalans projected their ideas and expressing their culture through architecture.

Thus Valencia opened its doors to modernism and became one of the cities with more modernist buildings in Spain. Two of these buildings are San Vicente Apartment Building 11 St. 1, / the Queen Square, 5 and The Port Sheds. The first was designed and built by architect Lucas Garcia Cardona second unknown authors

Apartment Building 11 is a building that responds to a corner and has a ground floor, a mezzanine and four floors, its main theme is the ornament on the walls which proposes a settlement between Hellenistic Corinthian columns with adornments, with dancing figures, friezes with palms and ovals, and Some Impressive bay windows with lathed wooden posts, in the ends of the façade, with great wooden eaves Everything finishing off.

However, although the issue is one of the ornamental features of Valencian modernism is important to note that details such as examples of materials used by brick, ceramic, wood, etc. appropriate to the place that reinforce the identity of the pieces with their environment, in addition to the balconies (in this case closed), which is typical of Catalan architecture and use this line in a sinuous curve and not dominant as in the case of Barcelona.

By way of conclusion Valencia is a city influenced by Catalonian modernism to its fullest, not a copy, the interesting thing about them is that Valencia identity gave way to express that they could not own.
