He was a student of Antoni Gaudí and followed his master's style when he designed noted projects in Barcelona and Melilla.

Brought to Melilla[2] by Enrique Nieto, the style is deeply rooted in a city which was overcome with floral ornamentation.

Plants, flowers, animals and women's faces filled the Art Nouveau façades, in which the brown and cream colour ranges brought out the ornaments.

Nieto is cited for receiving design inspiration from the noted Mezquita de Córdoba (Cordoba mosque).

[4] His notable work also includes the La Reconquista and Palacio Municipal (later renamed Autonomous City Palace[5]) in Plaza de Europa.
