Casa Pintada de Mula, Baroque noble residence in Mula, Spain
Casa Pintada de Mula is a Baroque residence with three floors, a central tower, and a square floor plan. The facades display detailed artistic paintings and sgraffito work that define the building's visual character.
The building was constructed in 1770 by Diego María de Blaya Molina Piñero Valcarcel as a statement of his family's French nobility. Its design reflected the social standing of an important local family in the Murcia region.
The house now serves as a museum dedicated to artist Cristóbal Gabárrón, displaying his paintings and sculptures throughout the rooms. Visitors experience contemporary art displayed within the historic walls, creating a dialogue between old architecture and modern creativity.
The house is open only on specific days and times, so check visiting hours in advance before planning your trip. A visit typically takes one to two hours depending on how closely you want to explore the artwork and architecture.
The building received recognition through architectural awards in 2001 following a major restoration effort. This careful preservation work ensured the historical structure could be enjoyed by visitors today.

The coast offers sheltered coves like Cala Cortina and remote beaches such as El Portús, while the Gredas de Bolnuevo erosion formations show the power of natural processes. The historical architecture ranges from medieval fortifications to baroque cultural sites. Monteagudo Castle from the 11th century and Castillo de Lorca document the Moorish and Christian past. Coastal towers like Torre de Santa Elena and Torre del Cope date from the 16th century and served as defenses against pirates. The Santa Clara Monastery and Museo Salzillo in Murcia city preserve 18th-century religious art, while the Palacio de Guevara in Lorca represents baroque urban architecture.
