Casa Salazar, Baroque episcopal palace in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain.

The two-story Casa Salazar displays a central topped facade with stone gargoyles depicting zoomorphic figures influenced by pre-Hispanic American art patterns.

Construction began in 1629 by Cristóbal Salazar de Frías and continued through generations until completion in 1687 by his grandson, the first Count of Valle de Salazar.

The Bishop's Chapel contains thousands of mosaics created in Rome, featuring a central representation of Pentecost and inscriptions of diocesan saints.

Located at 28 San Agustin Street, the palace underwent extensive restoration after a 2006 fire and reopened to visitors in June 2009.

The musician Teobaldo Power composed substantial portions of the famous 'Cantos Canarios' on the piano when the building housed the casino El Porvenir.
