The Casino Mercantil was built in the plot of land, which the palace of Don juan de Coloma, secretary of Fernando el Catolico, the Catholic King, previously occupied. The facade was made in 1912 by Francisco Albiñana, and is one of the most impressive modernism buildings in Zaragoza. It is divided into three floors flanked by baywindows, highlighting the multicoloured decoration with naturalistic motifs. The whole builing is finished with a terrace with pergola and a side tower that break the symmetry.

In the interior, the decoration of the Red Room, the restaurant, the vestibule and the main staircase are well worth a look. Reopened in 2004 after 2 years of careful restoration, the Casino Mercantil houses today the Aragonese Savings Banks Cajalon.
