Casino de la Laguna

This building, designed by the architect Mariano Estanga Arias-Girón between 1908 and 1909 and built by the Rodríguez de Azero family, is a prime example of early 20th-century eclectic architecture. It features interesting Modernist elements, such as the wrought-iron balconies enclosed by glass, and Historicist features, such as the French palatial-style turret covered with slate sheets. Inside, the mansion is organized around a large central courtyard and houses an impressive Art Nouveau-influenced stained-glass window in the imperial staircase, depicting a landscape with birds (herons). The decoration includes elaborate wrought ironwork on balconies, railings, grilles, and pinnacles, which enhance its elegance and refinement. It currently houses the Casino de La Laguna, a cultural, recreational, and sporting society founded in 1899, a symbol of the social and cultural dynamism of La Laguna.
