We took a tour with a small group to a historic building called the Casa Mediterráneo. It is located in the downtown area of Alicante close to the bus station.

The top tower of the building has a unique difference, can you spot it?

Casa Mediterráneo is a public consortium made up of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and other organizations.

It was the former train station of Alicante before it was converted into the Casa Mediterráneo.  Now the building is used to promote mutual interest between Spain and the rest of the countries of the Mediterranean basin. 

Some of the general uses of Casa Mediterráneo are to encourage or promote knowledge of the Euro-Mediterranean region. There are free concerts and other public events held in the Casa Mediterráneo.

The design of the roof and frame was apparently designed by a student of the famous engineer Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the  Eiffel tower in Paris.

The city of Alicante along with other agencies salvaged the building which was at one time left in disrepair. It has now become a repurposed building and a beautiful structure along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. 

One of the many unique and beautiful buildings in Alicante.
