Rótulo Casa de las Conchas
 
 
This mansion may be considered as the building most representative of art in the times of the Catholic Monarchs. As in the culture of fifteenth century Spain, Gothic, Moorish and Italianate lines have all been fused together. Its Founder was Dr. Rodrigo Arias and its ornamental motif includes scallop shells, the symbol of the Order of Santiago, of which Rodrigo Arias was Chancellor.

 The windows of the ground  floor are protected by beautiful wrought-iron work, which has been deemed “the most beautiful of Gothic Spanish iron-work”. The stairway, ceilinged by Italianate decorative woodwork, is a striking feature of the inside.
