Biblioteca de España
Library
One of the famous Medellín ‘Library Parks’ located in the Santo Domingo Savio neighbourhood, Biblioteca de España—the Spain Library Park—was designed by the Colombian architect Giancarlo Mazzanti and is a truly striking addition to Medellín’s architecture. Meant to resemble three large black stones, which become illuminated at night, the library won the 2008 award for best architecture of the year at the Ibero-American Architecture and Urban Design Biennial in Lisbon.
