Arquitecto • Enrique María Repullés
Edifcio de titularidad estatal construido sobre el solar de un antiguo cuartel de artillería cedido por el estado, su autor tomo como modelo la bolsa de Viena de Von Hansen pocos años anterior. En su exterior, austero clasicista destaca el gran portico corintio con escalinata y la forma concava de la fachada que conforma el espacio de la plaza. Lo mas singular del interior es la sala de contratacion, un gran espacio basilical rematado en ábside semicircular y rodeado por una galería que se cubre con una boveda de hierro y cristal a través de la cual recibe la luz. En 1992 fue declarado bien de interes cultural.
1884 • 1893
State-owned building built on the site of an old artillery barracks ceded by the state, its author took as a model the Vienna Stock Exchange of Von Hansen from a few years earlier. On its austere classicist exterior, the great Corinthian portico with staircase and the concave shape of the façade that make up the space of the square stand out. The most unique thing inside is the trading room, a large basilica-like space topped with a semicircular apse and surrounded by a gallery that is covered with an iron and glass vault through which it receives light. In 1992 it was declared an asset of cultural interest.
