Casa de María la Brava

The stone facade features a large entrance portal with a rounded arch, decorated with three heraldic shields of Enríquez, Monroy, and Maldonado families.

Built around 1485 on the site of María Rodríguez de Monroy's original house, who gained fame for avenging her murdered sons against rival nobility.

The building exemplifies the architectural preferences of Spanish nobility during the late 15th century with its Gothic elements and decorative stone carvings.

The structure underwent modifications in the 17th century, including the addition of a stone staircase and served as a pharmaceutical center in the 20th century.

The entrance arch contains unusual decorative elements, including carved thistles and a small naked figure within the alfiz frame.
