This building is an attractive example of Cordoban civil architecture of the Renaissance period. It was built by Hernán Ruiz II in 1560, and the most striking feature is the entrance with its decorative arches. The allotment gardens constitute one of the most attractive gardens in the historic city centre. Nowadays, the building houses the Town Hall’s Department of Culture.
