Architecture is about trying to make the world more like reality.

Blessings to all in this architecture and design community, glad to greet you and wish you a happy and blessed start of the week.
On this occasion I share with you a beautiful building that is located in Caracas, Venezuela, in front of the Plaza Bolivar, in the historic center of the city.
It is worth mentioning that this building is located next to the Municipal Council of Government of the capital of the country. This yellow house (as it is called) is well known by the inhabitants of Caracas and serves as a reference or meeting point since it is located in the heart of the city.

The yellow house has a lot of history to tell and, according to information provided by a passerby of the place in this building worked the Jail of Caracas and the Municipality. Later, due to its frequent repairs and modifications, it was used as the house or residence of the presidents of the time. In addition, because of its great importance in history, this building, like many others, was named a National Historic Monument.

The yellow house has a level 1 and first floor. As its name mentions it is of intense yellow color, in the first floor in the balcony that is in the corner of the extreme right is placed a tricolor flag of Venezuela. The main entrance has a door with two high wooden leaves, a metal lock and a beautiful sequential design in the form of a brooch.


The doors of these buildings are made of wood. At the main entrance there is a semiarch design to decorate the place giving it a neoclassical look. It is noteworthy that behind the main door is a statue, the floor of the entrance is terracotta which gives it a look of the colonial era.
The ceiling is made of wood with a very polished finish from which hang three forged iron lamps.

In the interior of this house there are some chaguaramos, the internal walls are white and blue. Something that aroused my curiosity about this place are some pictures where you can see the coat of arms and various elements of the place immersed in the same picture as the trees, it seems that this picture has a transparent character. The main roof of the building is made of wood with tile decorations.

On the first level it has three wooden windows with a semicircular design and wrought iron balconies. On the first floor there are three windows with wrought iron grills and two wooden doors. In the front of this house there are wrought iron lanterns to illuminate and beautify this place.
It is worth mentioning that the floor of the front of the yellow house is made of stone which gives it a rustic style.
Visiting the great metropolis (Caracas) is to know and fall in love with great and fascinating stories that captivate us until we are submerged in the wonderful world of the ancient and modern where imagination has been the best carriage to take us to a world where the real and the imaginary has been possible thanks to this wonderful architecture.

See you until the next tour to know more of my beautiful country and land of Grace.
