House of the Marquesa de Cartago
Ciudad Rodrigo
POI

Its construction began in the late nineteenth century, on the plots of houses belonging to the estate of Corbalán that had fallen to the Marquis of Espeja. Its promoter, a descendant of the latter, was Doña Concepción Narváez y del Águila, Marquise of Cartago. Of neo-Gothic style, the lintel of the façade stands out, with the coats of arms of Narváez and Águila; the corner balcony and the decoration of the windows in which the fleur-de-lis and the eagle, symbols of the lineage, are taken as ornamental motifs. This lady died without finishing the work and the new owners reformed and finished it in 1953.
