Spain Bank of Valencia
A one and single shot of this magnificent building, just at the moment when rain started to pour.
This flatiron building with a curved front was designed during the Spanish Civil War (in 1935) but was built several years later. Although the architecture is eclectic, the building has the traditional skyscraper form--with a base (in two colors of marble), a shaft of brick with limestone trim, and a top, in this case an unusual cladding of colorful tiles--owing to the art nouveau or modernista influence from earlier in the 20th century

Photography Tips
If you like to exclude cars and people from your shots you must be patient. The best light is in the afternoon. I wasn't able to get there at night but a night shot might be good too.
