About

Antigua Cárcel Modelo in Valencia's L'Olivereta district stands as a remarkable blend of history and modernity. Originally opened in 1903 as a prison, this attraction captivates visitors with its striking octopus-like architectural design. The building's transformation from a penitentiary with 528 chambers to its current role as a city administrative zone demonstrates an innovative repurposing of space, with sleek glass and steel towers weaving into preserved historical structures. Although it ceased its original operations in 1991, it now serves the community by housing various government services. With an average Google rating of 4.2, it continues to gather intrigue and appreciation from those who encounter this unique juxtaposition of the past and present.
