Casa del Cabildo, Baroque building in Plaza de Platerías, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
The Casa del Cabildo facade extends three stories high with intricate granite plates cut into geometric forms and two gargoyles at the cornice corners.
Architect Clemente Fernández Sarela constructed this thin building between 1754 and 1758 to enhance the appearance of the cathedral square.
The building structure influenced Spanish writer Valle-Inclán, who incorporated its presence in his narrative work 'Mi Hermana Antonia'.
Located at Plaza de Platerías 2, visitors can explore this exhibition space from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00-14:00 and 16:00-20:00, and Sundays 11:00-14:00.
Despite its grand exterior appearance, the building measures only four meters in depth, functioning primarily as a decorative wall for the square.
