Xanadu (1971) is an iconic complex of 17 apartments in Calp, Spain. It was designed by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura and completed in 1968. It has been ranked among "Ricardo Bofill's 10 Most Iconic Works".
Bofill's design for the Catalan resort of Xanadu consists of a seven-story block with cubical living spaces arranged around a central utility core. Spanish exploitation filmmaker Jess Franco used this structure several times, notably in Eugenie, historia de una perversión and The Perverse Countess.
