Casino de Tenerife Building, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

This impressive building located in Plaza la Candelaria occupies the whole city block. The design of the Casino de Tenerife Building was developed by Miguel Martín Fernández de la Torre, the local architect who transformed the city. The building architecture invokes a rationalist style that was common in the 1930s. It was completed in 1935. The building is distinguished by its corner tower and its four dissimilar frontages using different combinations of the same structural elements. It houses the oldest of the Canary recreational societies established in 1840, and comprises a library, cafeteria, restaurant, casino and more facilities. The interiors are decorated with murals and art works of the famous local artists.
