1. Spanish: The Red Wall
Did seeing this pink maze-like fortress instantly remind you of a scene from the popular Korean drama “Squid Game” on Netflix? The Arab-style residential apartment complex, La Muralla Roja, is located on the cliffs of Calpe, a coastal town in Spain. It was designed by the Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill and its name translates to “The Red Wall.”
The high and low staggered walls, staircase pieced together geometric lines, and paired with different shades of pink as the main color, create a strong contrast with the blue sea and sky in terms of color. From an aerial perspective, its outer perimeter takes the shape of a Greek-style cross, while the interior structure resembles a maze. La Muralla Roja has 50 rooms for accommodation, as well as public facilities such as sunbathing areas and swimming pools.
