Service Station

Service Station - Avda. Alcalde Federico Molina - 1955 Architect: Alejandro Herrero Ayllón

This service station stands out as a striking modern monument at an urban intersection at the foot of the adjacent Barrio Reina Victoria
Architect Alejandro Herrero subtly combines a number of basic elements in a functional triangular plan with a trident formed by a central slender tower surrounded by undulating canopies of reinforced concrete on V-shaped bearing points that swarm around the tower like butterflies.

The concrete construction of the shell roofs was made with care and has remained well preserved to this day. An eye-catching and surprising modernist appearance that has surprisingly retained its relevance and function after all these years
