Project Urban Remodeling

An Urban Renewal Project

With the presidency of D. Gabriel Díaz Berbel (1940-2011) in the mayor's office, and under the direction of the Urban Planning Management, a significant improvement was established for the commercial complex and adjacent streets of Granada's commercial center. This ambitious project sought to revitalize one of the city's most emblematic commercial spaces.

After major remodeling works that completely transformed the area, the new 'Zacatín' was inaugurated in 1998, recovering the splendor of this historic Granadian commercial space with a contemporary and functional vision.

Urban Transformation

The comprehensive remodeling of El Zacatín represented a significant change in the appearance of Granada's commercial center, improving both the aesthetics and functionality of the public space.

Architectural Integration

In the lighting section, the lanterns made by our company 'Hijos de Estévez' achieved perfect integration into the renewed architectural space.

Project Features

Historical Context

El Zacatín is one of Granada's historic commercial spaces, whose remodeling in 1998 marked a before and after in the revitalization of the city center.

Comprehensive Renewal

The remodeling works covered both the commercial complex and adjacent streets, creating a cohesive and modern space that maintained the Granadian essence.

Integrated Design

The lighting was conceived as an integral part of the architectural design, not as an added element, achieving complete visual harmony in the renewed space.

Social Impact

The remodeling of El Zacatín revitalized local commerce and improved the experience for both residents and visitors, strengthening Granada's commercial identity.

Legacy in the Heart of Granada

The El Zacatín lighting project represents a paradigmatic example of how traditional craftsmanship can be integrated into contemporary urban renewal projects. Our lanterns not only serve a practical lighting function but also contribute to defining the visual identity of this emblematic commercial space.

Since its re-inauguration in 1998, El Zacatín has regained its role as one of Granada's most vibrant commercial centers. Our participation in this project demonstrates the versatility of Granadian craftsmanship to adapt to different architectural contexts, from historic buildings to modern commercial spaces.

"When the light of our lanterns turns on in El Zacatín, it doesn't just illuminate commercial streets, but revitalizes Granadian mercantile tradition with a contemporary shine."
