House of the Gómez de Silva family · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

It was ordered to be built in 1523 by Canon Francisco Gómez de Silva in Renaissance style, of which some interesting details can still be seen, despite having been completely renovated inside and having opened all kinds of openings in its facade during the twentieth century, when it housed a breadbasket and later enabled for housing and commercial first floor. In the facade it emphasizes the cover framed by an alfiz and the figures in relief on the door: two figures half human, half vegetable, with bearded masculine face and of great expressiveness, they hold between both the shield with the arms of the family.
