The Lodares Passage is a historic and monumental commercial and residential gallery located in the historic centre of the city of Albacete. Located between Tinte and Mayor streets, this building, created in the image and likeness of Italian galleries, belongs to the modernist architecture of the early 20th century.

Along with the Gutiérrez passageway in Valladolid and the Ciclón passageway in Zaragoza, it is one of only three examples of this type of gallery that remain in Spain.

It was designed by the Valencian architect Buenaventura Ferrando Castells in 1925, following a trend that arrived in Spain during the reign of Isabel II, evolved during the Bourbon Restoration and reached its maximum expression in the 19th century under the influence of the rest of Europe.

Gabriel Lodares had it built in the image and likeness of the shopping arcades existing in Italy, with flats intended for the wealthy public, as well as the commercial premises, which is why it was designed as a private, enclosed passageway, although it is free to pass through from dawn to dusk to allow access to the shops located there.

It is covered by a large glass skylight with iron arches that joins two central streets, Calle del Tinte and Calle Mayor.

The façade on Calle del Tinte has a larger and more monumental surface area, while the façade on Calle Mayor is more modest because the owner of the house to its left did not finally agree to sell it. As a result, the façade is asymmetrical and some of the commercial premises are clearly narrower than the rest. In terms of height, it consists of three storeys of flats, plus a mezzanine for commercial purposes.

Each end of the premises has a large wrought-iron grille door, with a large ornament at the top bearing the initials of Gabriel Lodares' name.

The premises are separated by Renaissance columns with Modernist and neo-Baroque historicist ornamentation; the façades are depicted with large fruit bowls and groups of children holding garlands.

The ironwork on the main balcony was designed by the Albacete craftsman José Tejados.

Inside there are other allegorical figures in the form of caryatids depicting Industry, with a cogwheel; the Wealth of the Earth, holding a cornucopia; the Poetic Arts, playing a Lyre and, finally, the Liberal Arts, holding a small sculpture and a hammer, all of which are complemented by numerous heads of Mercury, the god of commerce.
