The magnificent workmanship of the building and the colourful effect of its façade make it the most outstanding building in the Plaza de Santo Domingo

This building, designed by the architect José Antonio Rodríguez Martínez, dates from the first half of the 20th century. Eclectic in style, it is notable for the tall Ionic columns on its façade and the circular pavilion that crowns the entire building. Its reddish, green and white finish accentuates the singular character of this building, making it a landmark and point of reference in the square in which it is located.

José Antonio Rodríguez had a great deal of experience and fame at that time, in fact he was a municipal architect and among his best known works in Murcia were the Casa Díaz-Cassou, the Casa de los Nueve Pisos, the Convalecencia, the La Alegría de la Huerta building, the Edificio Flomar, the Casa Guillamón and the Sociedad de Cazadores. His popularity meant that he was chosen to carry out the work on the Casa Cerdá, which took place between 1934 and 1936, being in fact his last great architectural work.
