Beautiful building with colonial style

The most beautiful things in life sometimes cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt in the heart.

Hello design and architecture loving community. On this occasion I share with you a building that is located in the First Born of the American Continent (Cumana). It is the former governorate of Sucre State. It is located in the Bolivar Square, near the historic center of the city.
This old headquarters, being close to the historical center of the town, has always tried to preserve a style allusive to the colonial era. Although it underwent several changes and repairs, it preserved its original style.

This building has the following characteristics: The main and side walls are white, also, it has a design in the exterior stairs of the main entrance in the form of a rectangle. The main entrance has a wooden door in the shape of a rectangle. It should be noted that the doors of the buildings located in that area of the city are very high as I mentioned in previous posts. This former government headquarters had a main entrance door and a window on each side, the windows are also high in the shape of a rectangle and at the top of them a ventilation window.

On the left side of this building there are four iron windows in the shape of a rectangle with a design at the top. In addition, these windows have three divisions.

One of the features that caught my attention of this imposing building was the main façade, which has four chaguaramos on each side of the main entrance, giving it a colonial style. It is located in a strategic point of the city where a large number of people converge daily from all the municipalities of the state. It is worth mentioning that the two main castles of Cumaná are located nearby.

The old governor's office has a perimeter fence of reinforced concrete with a design of stairs in its wall, in addition, it has chaguaramos at some distance with a very peculiar style that takes us back to colonial times.

The upper part of the main entrance has a design with images of lions, which was a symbol of the colonial era, in addition, there is an effigy representative of that time. This building had a tongue-and-groove roof.

In front of this building there is a large number of trees that provide a country atmosphere and a pleasant temperature. The exterior garden is well preserved, which makes it a very attractive building.

Visiting this place is very comforting and pleasant, since we can enjoy the outdoors, breathe a fresh breeze, sit and spend quality time with the family. Being in front of this building takes us back to Colonial Cumaná where its streets and houses had a peculiar style. This ancient seat is still alive in every heart of the inhabitants of the place.

God bless you, see you in the next tour.

The carved statue above the entrance is very beautiful, like the door which is guarded by 2 angels. 😊
