Matadero de Sueca
Modernista slaughterhouse built in 1921-1924 with a geometric brick main doorway.
In Sueca, the old Matadero is a modernista slaughterhouse built in 1921-1924. Its main doorway, a geometric brick composition, is the stop on an otherwise working municipal facility.
History
The town ordered a hygienic slaughterhouse in the 1920s and gave it the modernista brick language of the period. The doorway carries the whole architectural effort.
What to see
The geometric brick doorway from the street, the architectural centrepiece of the 1921-1924 municipal works. Interior access depends on the town hall, so treat it as an exterior stop on the route with the Pascual Fos house and the Serrano theatre.
Tips for your visit
- Confirm interior access with the town hall.
- The doorway photographs best in morning light.
