Casa Díaz-Cassou

Casa Díaz-Cassou is a Modernist building in Murcia, listed as a Site of Cultural Interest, located on Calle Santa Teresa. It was designed by the architect José Antonio Rodríguez for the writer and Murcia scholar Pedro Díaz Cassou, and its construction ran from 1900 to 1906, following a long dispute with the City Council resolved by an agreement signed in June 1906. Notable features include its chamfered corner, which breaks the line of the cornice, and a semicircular bay window topped by an iron railing. Inside, it retains an extensive decorative scheme from after 1906, with pictorial work by Pedro García del Bosque (1907-1908). After its most recent restoration, the building has been temporarily given over to the Government of the Region of Murcia for exhibitions and cultural events, so visitors can explore a heritage space in active cultural use.
