A prominent construction within Betanzos architecture. Built in 1903, it replaced a small kiosk dating from 1894 and is closely linked to the many activities of the old Academy of Music, founded in 1854. Architect Rafael González Villar designed the new bandstand, resulting in a work with a highly personal style developed during the years 1927 and 1928. The author defined an open space with an octagonal podium and a circular roof, connected by slender, thin pillars. The decorative effect of the various elements—such as the flattened circular zinc roof, the arrangement of lamps at different heights, the graduated railings with geometric motifs, and the upper finishes of the pillars supporting the roof—clearly reflects the architect’s style. Its characteristic polychromy, also reproduced in the railings and streetlamps in the surrounding areas of the Cantón and Porta da Vila, gave rise to the renowned “Betanzos green,” one of the city’s defining features.
