Valencian Art Nouveau is the historiographic denomination given to an art and literature movement associated with the Art Nouveau in the Valencian Community, in Spain. Its main form of expression was in architecture, but many other arts were involved (painting, sculpture, etc.), especially the design and the decorative arts (cabinetmaking, carpentry, forged iron, ceramic tiles, ceramics, etc.), which were particularly important, especially in their role as support to architecture.
Sanctuary of Holy Maria Magdalena
North Station
The North Station is one of the most representative monuments of Valencia and is of civil modernist architecture. Its modernist design has influences of the Secession period: straight lines mixed with curved shapes. Its facade, in particular, is full of orange drawings, flowers, and other Valencian agriculture motives. In it there is a direct reference to the heraldic shield of Valencia, which represents the contrast between modernism and tradition; between rural and urban.
