THE SOCIAL CLUB OF PALENCIA - AUDIO GUIDE
AUDIO GUIDE TRANSCRIPTION
In a corner at the center of the city (in a place called “the Four Cantons”), we can find the Casino of Palencia. It is a social club.
It is a historic building, because, Town Hall meetings were held on its first floor in the 16th century. The Town Hall sold the building to finance the new Town hall. In 1862 the casino company of Palencia bought the building.
In the 20th century, the building was remodeled and adapted to its new function. The decoration shows the style of the bourgeoisie of Palencia.
The modernist mural on the arcades was made by Rafael Oliva, a painter from Palencia.
