Carré came to town in 1889 and was hired to design and build the new Episcopal Cathedral and several commercial and residential buildings for different parts of the city, especially in the new neighborhood of Guayaquil. The Metropolitan Cathedral was completed in 1931; also are of authorship Vásquez and Carré buildings, which are located next to <a href="/wiki/Plaza_Cisneros" title="Plaza Cisneros">Plaza Cisneros</a>. The Medellín Antioquia Railway Station was the work of Enrique Olarte, a work that allowed the definitive urban consolidation in Guayaquil sector. In the twenties Republican architecture reached its peak phase. In this period stand the old Municipal Palace (now the Museum of Antioquia) in 1928, the National Palace and the Palace of Departmental Government (now the Palace of Culture) between 1925 and 1928. The latter two works were designed by the Belgian architect <a href="/wiki/Agust%C3%ADn_Goovaerts" title="Agustín Goovaerts">Agustín Goovaerts</a>, both inspired by the Belgian modernist, it applied the Romanesque and Gothic styles respectively.
