Again we have to talk about the charm of the winding and maze- like little streets

Formal analysis of the facade (description):
It follows the archetypical scheme of a private Catalan Gothic mansion with its characteristic elements:
- Round arched gate (Romanesque art heritage)
- Horizontal mouldings (a feature in opposition to the Gothic verticality, linked to the influence of classical architecture which came from Italy).
- Two floors of double windows called "coronelles" (word derived from the Italian "Columnella") with little round arches (also Romanesque heritage).

Commentary:
Interior with patio (Baroque alterations).
Curious Gothic design on the first floor (ballroom) discovered in the late nineties of the 20th century: it has a thee-section plane with two lines of pointed arches dividing each section (they are perpendicular to the direction of the nave). It is the only Gothic mansion of Palma that has kept this design.
