La Muralla Roja is a unique building complex that was designed based on North African casbahs and Arab Mediterranean architectural styles. It reinterprets the casbahs in an avant-garde fashion while incorporating the traditional elements like plazas, staircases and bridges that connect all the apartments to one another. The use of colour on the exterior of the buildings is what gives an illusion of space. The vibrant walls are painted with different tones of the colours red, pink, blue and violet. Blue is used on central courtyards, pink for subsidiary courtyards, and everything else like staircases, bridges, and retaining walls are painted violet. (Manzanera, Calpe, Spain)
