Current use:
This a construction of the 17th Century, remodeled during the next two centuries. Therefore, the house is a product of several transformations, even though it still maintains its original plan, the courtyard and the wooden ceilings.
It is clearly from the exterior the demarcation of its façade in the ground floor, mezzanine and upper floor. It features spaces complementing with iron rails forged in wooden balconies in the mezzanine and the ground floor. Like other houses at that time, it owns a hallway, a staircase of two branches and a backyard with the same attraction than that of the main courtyard. The woodworks of the rails, balconies and ceilings of the upper floor are of great interest.
