Valdecarzana-Heredia Palace, Oviedo, Courthouse from 17th century in Plaza de la Catedral, Oviedo, Spain

The palace exhibits a cubic floor plan with three levels, featuring stone masonry walls and a central courtyard surrounded by seven balconies with lowered arches.

Don Diego de Miranda commissioned the construction of this residence between 1627 and 1629, marking the beginning of early Asturian Baroque architecture.

The western facade displays the Miranda family coat of arms with the Marquis of Valdecarzana crown, while the eastern side presents the Miranda and Ponce de León heraldry.
