La Muralla Roja is a iconic postmodern apartment complex in Calpe, designed by architect Ricardo Bofill in 1973. Its bold red exterior and intricate geometric layout evoke a Mediterranean fortress or a surreal Escher-like maze. The building features a series of interlocking apartments, courtyards, and staircases painted in shades of red, blue, and pink. While it is a private residence, visitors can admire its striking exterior from the surrounding streets and capture stunning photographs. Its unique design has made it a popular backdrop for fashion shoots and social media.
