A sensational apartment block located in Calpe, Spain, is purported to have sparked inspiration for the iconic staircase in the popular Netflix show Squid Game. The La Muralla Roja complex, renowned for its eye-catching design, bears a striking resemblance to the set design in Squid Game. It is believed that this complex, housing 50 apartments, is the inspiration behind the quirky stairs seen in the show. The building’s unique geometric appearance, with its narrow winding stairways and Tetris-like appearance, makes it seem almost out of a video game rather than a real-life accommodation. The red, blue, and pink paint used to adorn the apartment block has drawn comparisons to the maze-like stairway seen in the show. Furthermore, this Spanish architectural wonder, designed by Ricardo Bofill, also features bridges that connect all the apartments together, providing a staggered and visually appealing design. La Muralla Roja’s striking interiors, outdoor terrace, and rooftop pool add to its allure, making it a popular choice for guests seeking a vacation rental via Airbnb or Booking.com. Despite commanding a nightly rate of around £170, the apartment block has received glowing reviews from guests, praising its magical atmosphere and spectacular views.
