Centro Sociocultural de A Trisca · Hostal de los Reyes Católicos The stone façade of the A Trisca Socio-Cultural Centre (John Hejduk, A. Sanmartín, E. Conovas and L. Rietti, 1993-2002) features square-shafted iron arrows, whose alignment is reminiscent of that of other decorative elements conceived more than 400 years ago: the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos. The cornice of the former pilgrim hospital displays around fifty mythological beings, monsters and human figures that make up, along with moss and granite, a mysterious parallel universe.
