Casa de Diego Maldonado, Renaissance building in Salamanca, Spain

The Casa de Diego Maldonado features a masonry facade with three pilaster-framed sections and a central window supported by cherubs holding family shields.

Diego Maldonado de Rivas, who served as chamberlain to Archbishop Fonseca, commissioned architect Juan de Álava to design this residence in 1531.

The building incorporates Renaissance elements like grotesque candelieri decorations and multiple coats of arms representing the Maldonado, Rivas, and Morille families.

The Center for Brazilian Studies of the University of Salamanca operates from this historical building, located next to the Church of San Benito.

The entrance features a transformed balcony window crowned by the Fonseca coat of arms, surrounded by a flower garland and flanked by two putti.
