The most representative civil Baroque building in Lorca

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Murcia (Region) This ancient stately home, also known as "Casa de las Columnas" (House of the Columns) due to the Roman columns at the main door, is one of the most representative civil Baroque buildings in Lorca. It is a quadrangular mansion built around an inner courtyard. One of the most interesting elements is the doorway, divided into two parts in the manner of the altarpiece of the facade, with four Solomonic columns surmounted by the emblem of the Order of St. James. Inside there is a beautiful garden courtyard with double semicircular arches on either side, supported on white marble columns and richly decorated with carvings. The rooms of the palace are also outstanding, some with 18th-century furniture (Venetian chairs) and 18th-century Valencian tiled floors; the Inmaculada Chapel, with frescoes and a collection of 18th- and 19th-century paintings. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Murcia
