Edificio La Adriática stands in Seville as an architectural work by José Espiau y Muñoz. The architect designed it for the insurance company La Adriática.

Built between 1914 and 1922, the building combines eclectic, neo-Mudéjar, Plateresque, and regionalist elements. Its triangular plot creates a sharply angled urban presence.

At the corner, a cylindrical mirador rises beneath a dome covered with polychrome glazed tiles. The tower recalls Arab minarets through its arched gallery.

Red brick, cream panels, coloured ceramics, marble columns, and wrought iron shape the building’s façades. White bands carry reliefs of vases and grotesques.

Horseshoe arches framed by alfiz details appear beside pointed arches with Gothic character. The avenue façade adds miradors and a covered terrace of glazed tiles.

José Espiau y Muñoz also designed Ciudad de Londres in Seville, a building with similar character. Its ceramic decoration gives the corner a distinct presence.

The structure reflects Seville’s early twentieth-century architecture, where historical references met regional traditions and modern business needs. The insurance company shaped its original purpose.
