Rafael Moneo, Universal architect

Rafael Moneo is one of the most illustrious citizens from the Ribera de Navarra and Tudela, his birth town. The first Spanish person to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1996, and winner of the Prince of Asturias award for arts in 2012, the signature of Rafael Moneo appears in singular buildings throughout the world: the Kursaal in San Sebastian, the Museum of Roman Art in Merida, the Museum of Architecture in Stockholm, the Cathedral of Los Angeles, Atocha train station in Madrid, and more. But Moneo has also left his footprint in Tudela. Residential buildings in the centre of the city, the Paseo de Queiles and the old people’s residence La Misericordia are some of his projects.
