The unique Art-Dèco building in Salamanca is transmitted from closed to apartments

The property already shows the new image that was supposed to be presented and that respects its past, which is mandatory because it is a building protected by a municipal catalog.

The four -style four building was empty when the project was known and was working in less than a year, because in May 2024 A truck began to empty it. The legendary Libreía real estate hosts this work.
