The most representative monument of civil art from the era of the Catholic Monarchs. Built at the end of the 15th century, this house combines Gothic, Moorish and Italian elements. Its founder was Doctor Rodríguez Arias, and its ornamental motif is the shell, the symbol of the Order of Santiago, of which the founder was chancellor. The windows on the upper floors are decorated with pediments of various Gothic arches, while those on the lower floors display some of the best examples of Gothic ironwork in Spain.
