Inaugurated in 1922, the Spanish Pavilion for the Venice Biennale was originally designed by Javier De Luque and has a remembrance of late XVII-century Castilian baroque. The façade consists of columns and typical baroque floral decoration. In 1952, architect Joaquin Vaquero Palacios was asked to redesign the façade. The new façade is conceived as a canvas of bricks. Only two sculptures, representing bears, were to stand on the sides of the entrance.
