Apartment Building 7 Sorni St., 23

It was projected by the architect José Manuel Cortina Pérez, in 1905. It presents a wide symmetrical façade with a vertical composition of holes, structured in three horizontal bands.

As in this architect's other works, the decoration is based on the pleasant contrast among the brick, the top border, the stone, and the wrought iron, where, most part of the characteristic fantastic elements of his works disappear, but he keeps the medievalist character.

Apartment Building 8 Félix Pizcueta St., 3

The Post Office and Telegraphs Palace of Valencia

It occupies two thirds of a compact block, with two curved bevels finished off by domes that conform the image of a public building.

Its monumental effect is enhanced by the presence of different sculptural groups with symbols of the communications. On the right side of the main façade there is a commemorative plaque dedicated to Canalejas, with a Christ in relief work by Victor Hino.

It is an eclectic French style building, which repeats the whole outline of the modern façade of the City Hall.
