The House of Crystals is one of Melilla's showier Modernista buildings, known for the glassed-in facade that gives it its name. In a city where early 20th-century architecture is a major part of the appeal, it is a useful stop in the central ensemble rather than a standalone detour.
Look at it as part of a slow walk through Melilla's Modernista streets, comparing its decorative confidence with the neighbouring civic and commercial buildings. The pleasure is in the facade, balconies, and urban setting more than in any interior visit.
