Modernisme Plaza of the City Hall of Valencia

The Modernisme Plaza of the City Hall of Valencia was the transformation of the square of the City Hall of Valencia, Spain by Javier Goerlich in 1931 (then called "Bajada de San Francisco"). It later became the Plaza of the City Hall and its fountain. Dr. Daniel Benito Goerlich (nephew of architect Goerlich Lleó), Professor of Art History and Curator of Cultural Heritage of the University of Valencia, stated that the 1930s reform "belongs to a very specific social context, and was destroyed a few years later in a completely different context, the repressive postwar, towards the 'disaffected' to the political regime of the time."
