Tiene frescos de finales del siglo XIX y una fastuosa decoración, destacando la araña de cristal.
Salón Imperio.– Originally belonging to the Palace of the Marquess of Escalambre and later part of the Casino of Alicante, in the grounds of which it is located. It has frescoes dating from the end of the 19th century and exquisite decorative features, including a crystal spider
There are ambiguitoies in the original, related to the 'dependencias' and especially the 'araña de cristal'.
Anybody from Alicante/visitor to Alicante know about these?
Thanks in advance. |
