Visible from the street; the inside is private.

In Zamora, Spain, the Casa de Faustina Leirado stands as a notable example of early twentieth-century Art Nouveau design. Completed in 1910, the house was designed by Francesc Ferriol i Carreras, a Catalan architect who brought the flowing, organic aesthetic characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement to this Castilian city. The building exemplifies the style's embrace of curved lines, decorative ornamentation, and innovative use of materials that defined progressive European architecture at the turn of the century.
