Nestled within the architectural ensemble encircling Plaza Bolivar, this building stands out with a distinctive and unusual design. Its façade, adorned with calicanto decor and deep rust-colored moldings, sets it apart from the majority of surrounding structures. What makes this building even more intriguing is the historical narrative woven into its very fabric.
Upon reliable authority, it is said that this very structure served as the first bordello in Casco Viejo, echoing tales of a bygone era. The intriguing window design adds another layer of fascination to the building's narrative. While the other windows on the building resemble Madonna's iconic cone-shaped bras from her Vogue era, this particular window breaks the mold with its circular shape. The combination of metalwork, facia, and ornate molding bestows a remarkable and captivating quality upon it. In my collection, I affectionately refer to it as the "Big O."
This image is available in two sizes, with the smaller version standing as a unique and endearing addition to the collection, making it one of the smallest images but undoubtedly one of the most charming and captivating.
