Casa de los Picos, Gothic mansion in Segovia, Spain.
The facade of Casa de los Picos displays 617 granite blocks carved into pyramid shapes across its entire surface, creating a distinct geometric pattern.
Built in the late 15th century by Pedro López de Ayala, the mansion served as a defensive structure near the San Martin Gate until 1883.
The Renaissance courtyard features Talavera tiles depicting various monuments of Segovia, reflecting the artistic heritage of the region.
The building functions as the Segovia Art School and hosts regular exhibitions, with access from Juan Bravo Street in the historic center.
Local tales suggest that beneath one of the 360 granite points on the facade lies a concealed treasure from medieval times.
