Information

The portal has a lintel entrance, flanked by columns on pedestals and on which there is a balcony with a heraldic shield. The tower, the main element of the building, follows a distribution of four bodies, in which the upper open gallery stands out, resolved in a similar way to other Renaissance ones in the city. The decoration of the windows stands out, in which pagan and Christian themes are mixed. The courtyard is the centralizing axis of the building. It has a simple quadrangular patio, with two floors and with wooden vaults on the roof of the galleries.
