Vimcorsa
Housing the main offices of Vimcorsa since December 2001, in this mansion from the late 19th century, Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas and one of the greatest writers in the Spanish Romanticism genre, was born, hence the name of the street where the house stands. For most of the 20th century, the building was known as the Carbonell House, because the headquarters of the famous olive oil company were housed here. The architecture falls under the style of the typical mansions or “hotels” from the late 19th century.
The floral intervention is located in the patio that forms the entrance to the property, created by the “U” shape of the building. Enclosed by a magnificent iron gate from 1909, the Modernist iron and glass marquees that crowns the building entrance catches the eye. It has two floors, with balconies above and windows below, inscribed in round blind arches. Crowning the façade is the coat of arms with double ‘C’ for “Casa Carbonell”.
