Palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra

Rebuilt at the end of the 17th century, in the place occupied by some Arab houses. Of great artistic and historical value. It has a magnificent Renaissance-style façade, with double Corinthian columns on the sides, with some suns on the door lintel. Above this there is a beautiful round wrought iron balcony. In the upper part of the facade you can see four figures of Peruvian Inca Indians that reveal the colonial influence. They have very nice postures, since the first one is about a girl who tries to hide her nudity. The second figure is a boy, who sticks out his tongue in derision. The figures on the other side have the same characteristics. At the top, in the center, is the shield of the Salvatierra. It has remarkable furniture from different periods, and some very remarkable Sevillian tiles from the 17th century in the family dining room. In the exterior space that opens to the building, in a charming little balcony there is a cross, which was brought to this place in 1965, and which was located on the hill of Las Pedreas in front of the South Walls, indicating the place where The Royal of the Marquis of Cádiz, Rodrigo Ponce de León, settled during the Castilian conquest.
