Casa de la Rúa, Oviedo, Medieval palace in Plaza Alfonso II, Oviedo, Spain

The Casa de la Rúa displays a Gothic facade with irregular window arrangements, stone balconies, and a grand entrance with a semi-circular arch.

Built in the late 15th century for Rodrigo de la Rúa, accountant to the Catholic Monarchs, this structure survived the devastating Christmas Eve fire of 1521.

The palace features two family coats of arms on its main entrance, representing the historical lineage of the de la Rúa and Cienfuegos families.

The lower floor of Casa de la Rúa functions as an event center for social gatherings, while the upper levels remain a private residence.

The building incorporates a 14th-century tower within its structure, making it one of the oldest architectural elements in Oviedo.
