Tips

It is a stately mansion from the time of the Catholic Monarchs, combining late Gothic, Mudejar, and Renaissance styles.

Its construction began in the late 15th century by order of Rodrigo Maldonado de Talavera, although it was his son, Rodrigo Arias Maldonado, who completed it and lived there.

It owes its name to the more than 300 shells depicted on its façade, arranged in staggered rows, following a rhomboidal composition typical of the Mudejar style.

The Casa de las Conchas is the "House of Shells". Today Casa de las Conchas is used as a library and the inner courtyard can be visited free of charge.
