Four talks review Almería's singular buildings until December 3

The exhibition "La memoria construida: edificios singulares de nuestra ciudad" adds a series of four lectures on Almería's architectural heritage. The first was held this Thursday, November 12, with the professor of Art History Mónica Sicre and her talk "Uvas, hierro y mariposas. Un paseo por la Almería burguesa y modernista", as reported by the Almería City Council. The next three dates will be on Thursday, November 19, with Ginés Valera and "La Almería de López Rull"; on Thursday, November 26, with Alfonso Ruiz and "Langle Arquitecto"; and on Thursday, December 3, with Carmen Góngora and "Descubriendo a Góngora". All start at 12.00 hours and entry is free until full capacity is reached.

The opening session covered the Almería of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of economic and commercial dynamism in which a thriving bourgeoisie left its mark on architecture and on the urban fabric. In the exhibition as a whole, architects such as Trinidad Cuartara, López Rull, Guillermo Langle and Góngora Galera play a prominent role, whose works helped to define the image of the city. The Councillor for Culture, Education, Museums and Traditions, Joaquín Pérez de la Blanca, explained that the exhibition seeks to "bring citizens closer to the buildings that are part of Almería's collective identity" and that the series has been designed to expand the contents of the exhibition and turn it into a space for knowledge and reflection. The exhibition can be visited until January 8, 2027. The Archivo Municipal preserves plans, photographs and files that allow the evolution of Almería's architectural heritage to be reconstructed. No registration is needed to attend the lectures: entry is free until the venue's capacity is reached, at 12.00 hours, on Thursdays, November 19 and 26 and December 3.
