New Times, Old Beauty
The Liberty-style houses are a stunning example of early 20th-century urban development, built in a neighbourhood where the railway station was opened in 1866.
The station transformed the city into a major economic and commercial hub, and the houses reflected the tastes of the emerging industrial bourgeoisie. Their designs, inspired by nature, feature floral patterns and stylised figures, as well as technical innovations of the time. These included the use of new materials and cutting-edge construction and decorative techniques, such as the skilful application of iron and glass.
