Casa del Sol, Cáceres, Renaissance monument in Old Town, Cáceres, Spain.
Casa del Sol features a fortified structure with a Renaissance courtyard, Gothic elements, and decorative details concentrated at the facade corner.
The building, commissioned by Francisco de Solís to stonemason Pedro Gómez, underwent reconstruction in the 16th century over a previous 15th-century structure.
The heraldic shield of the Solís family displays a sun with a human face and eight rays bitten by snake heads on the facade.
Located at Callejón de la Monja in Cáceres, the building currently houses the Fathers of the Precious Blood religious order and Gaspar del Búfalo Foundation.
An inscription near the main door marks the boundary of the former cemetery of the upper city with the word 'cementerio' carved in stone.
