Architecture is a way of thinking about the world very similar in structure to writing a book, as both disciplines represent the same field and domain."

Rem Koolhaas.

Hello dear community it is a pleasure to be with you again to show you my tour and the beautiful architecture found in my city.
This time I will talk about a very important building in my town, it is the headquarters of a bank agency called Banco de Venezuela.
Talking a little about the history of this bank I remember that when I arrived in this city it was a bank known as the firstborn, that is, a savings and loan institution, then over the years it was acquired by another bank called Banco mi casa, which by that time became one of the most preferred banking institutions in the city for the services they offered to the customer, I remember that when I started working the ministry paid payroll there, also offered us credits to purchase products which we were discounted through modest installments of our paychecks.
Now, after so many years providing services, it became one of the entities of the Bank of Venezuela, which is currently operating in the same place and with the same structure.
It is located in the center of the city, in one of the most famous streets of the town as Mariño Street, it is also very frequented by customers to make their banking transactions. This bank is a point of reference for the place where it is located and in front of it there is a bus stop which is known as the Bank.

Making an analogy with the main or initial name of this bank I can infer that it has in the upper part a shape that resembles the ornaments of the castle of Cumaná.
In the main part it has twelve windows in the shape of a rectangle and in one of the sides it has ten windows with the same design.

The walls of this building are of bricks, they are very well conserved, in addition in one of the lateral parts of the same one it possesses four windows in form of square.
In addition in the main wall there are two logos of the bank of Venezuela.

This building has two floors in which are located different customer service offices, in that site is that we can process everything relevant to the bank, also on the first floor are all customer service tellers where we can perform banking transactions such as withdrawals, payments and deposits. In addition, in front of this site are the ATMs with glass windows.

One thing that caught my attention is the seven columns in the main part of the building. One of the peculiarities of this institution is the number of ATMs to serve customers in their various transactions. Sometimes many people come to this place because it is located in the center of the city, but thank God that the service is fast.

One of the highlights of this bank is that it has a large parking lot for both staff and customers. This is located next to the bank with a security personnel.

One of the most important and attractive features of this venue is a clock that is located in the front part of the building, placed on a concrete column whose base is a rectangle with bricks. Since I arrived in this city I have seen this clock and I have never realized if it really works or if it ever worked, I can assure you that writing this article has awakened my curiosity and when I have the opportunity I will go to the bank and ask if it is just an ornament or if it is a functional clock. Another feature that impresses me is the shape at the top where it is located that to my appreciation looks like a lamp.
