Description

Built in 1683 by Domingo de Andrade. It is built of granite masonry with a tile roof. The top floor was added in the 20th century. It has three levels, the top one of which is finished with a balustrade and a balcony. It is interesting because of the richness of its decoration, which includes eight gargoyles on the cornice, the metopes, the corbels and the relief of bunches of grapes which frame the main entrance and a window in the upper floor. The large square chimney is one of the most emblematic in the city.
It is now used for exhibiting the work of Galician artists.
