House of the Enriquez de Soria family · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

The building was erected in 1613 by Manuel Enríquez, alderman of the city, and his wife Isabel. Its facade of simple composition follows the models of the austere architecture of that time. The coats of arms on trimmed hides stand out. During the 18th century it was the seat of the Government and the Corregidor's house. After the extinction of direct descent in the nineteenth century, the house became the property of the Marquis of Espeja and Don Antonio Sánchez Arjona y Nieto de Paz as heirs of the entailed estate. Later, it was renovated for housing and commercial use.
