Description

This building was built in 1863 by Manuel Uceda. It is currently used as the Rectorate of the University and consists of three floors with a covered ground floor and an interior light well. It has a symmetrical floor plan and has large openings with semicircular arches, all of which lead to balconies which are separated by fluted pilasters. It is the first major residential mansion of the modern era, and the people of Vigo take strolls from the old part of the city to admire it.
