Melilla has more than 150 modernist buildings. Is the second modernist city in Spain (Barcelone is the first one), and the fourth in Europe.
Enrique Nieto was the architect who made the construction of the new Melilla. Most important buildings are La Reconquista, Palacio Municipal and Casa Tortosa. Leave a Comment Directions: The "Golden Triangle", an area located between Avenida Juan Carlos I, Reyes Catolicos, Parque Hernandez and Plaza de Espana.

Melilla's Bullring was built in 1947 and due to its structure and situation is known as "bullfighting mosque".
There are more Bullrings in africa (I believe that there is one in Maputo, Moçambique, and one in the Equatorial Guinea), but this is the only one that works. Leave a Comment Address: Pza. de toros, s/n

Melilla's most striking feature is the Old City (Melilla la Vieja), Citadel (Ciudadela) or "The Village" (El Pueblo, as is known by Melilla citizens)-the original fifteenth century walled city of steep narrow streets at the highest point of the city that has been declared a historic-artistic monument. Entered by way of the Puerta de Santiago graced by the coat of arms of Emperor Charles V, the old quarter encloses three walled districts, separated from one another by deep moats and joined by bridges.
Other sights include the Municipal Museum, housed in the Renaissance Concepcion Church where the visitor can relive the history of the city. Leave a Comment

Formed as a perfect circle with a park in the centre, Plaza de España is the real centre of Melilla. It lies next to the harbour, and out west the streets of the older part of Melilla lies.
Here you have some interesting buildings, as "Palacio de la Asamblea de Melilla" (Melilla's City Hall) or "Casino Militar". The houses are in excellent condition. Leave a Comment Address: Next to the harbour

Is one of the most watched and patroled borders in the whole world!!!
3 lines of fences and spins, cameras, night vision, heat detector and advisor, the Guardia Civil try to avoid illegal inmigrants from Central Africa and morocco, but there is people from all the continents coming here to cross the line to the european union. For example from Iraq, Pakistan and Sierra Leone!!. Only in 15kilometers of border. Now many inmigrants are living in a moroccan left houses and they eat even the monkeys and rabbits of the mountains. Leave a Comment
