La Muralla Roja (lit. 'the Red Wall') is a postmodern apartment complex in Manzanera, Calpe, Spain. It is designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill for the client Palomar S.A. in 1968^[1] and fully constructed by 1973. It has been ranked among "Ricardo Bofill's 10 Most Iconic Works".^[2]

In designing the building, Bofill referenced the architecture of North African casbahs^[3] and Arab Mediterranean architectural styles. It reinterprets the casbahs in an avant-garde fashion while incorporating the traditional elements like plazas (courtyards), staircases and bridges that connect all the apartments to one another.^[4]

As a residency, it holds several amenities such as two commercial stores, a sauna and a restaurant all on the first level. On roof terraces there are solariums and a swimming pool exclusively for use of its residents.^[5]

La Muralla Roja is referred to as a housing estate that has fifty apartments/ living spaces. There are three different styles and sizes of apartments: Studio apartments of approximately 60 square meters, two bedroom apartments of 80 square meters, and three bedroom apartments of approximately 120 square meters.^[6]
