Built in 1789, this impressive structure consists of a majestic 5-story main building, each floor spanning approximately 400m2, accompanied by a cozy adjoining house and a charming chapel, the Chapel of Santa Bárbara. Despite its current state of preservation, the facade and some original interior walls with arches still exude historical splendor and charm.
