Casa de las Muertes, Gothic mansion in Salamanca, Spain
The Casa de las Muertes displays intricate stonework, including four skull carvings positioned as brackets beneath the upper windows of the building.
Alfonso de Fonseca commissioned the construction of this residence in 1500, entrusting the project to architect Juan de Álava alongside the Palacio de La Salina.
The mansion earned its name from local tales and a series of deaths, including a quadruple murder of a family in the early nineteenth century.
The building, constructed with Villamayor sandstone, stands as a protected cultural heritage site in the historical center of Salamanca.
A central medallion adorns the Plateresque facade, featuring a carved bust dedicated to Alfonso de Fonseca, the original owner.
