The new melilla. The modernism style

After the agreements between Spain and Morocco that allowed the expansion of the territory of Melilla, the city begins in the twentieth century a new cycle in which civil society arrived from the Spain replacing the military troops













Modernism got to Melilla thanks to Enrique Nieto, a disciple of the Catalan architect Domenec i Montaner, who arrived to Melilla in 1909, finding the identity and place that was looking for to experiment and be a protagonist. So the new Melilla looks similar to the Eixample of Barcelona, what is amazing to see if you have been in both cities.
