Its current state is a ruin, although on the facade of the monument you can see the coat of arms presiding over the door.

It is a work that was never completed, although despite everything the façade shows the desired purpose that its promoters had. The façade symmetrically divides the composition, oriented into three floors, with three openings on each side. The central structure opens on the lower floor framed with two superb columns of Tuscan order that support a classic frieze of triglyphs and metopes, with an entablature for a balcony with two new columns of the same style as the lower ones. The finish on the third floor is a curvilinear pediment split to place a marble shield with the arms of the Roco. The first and second floors are decorated with triangular pediments, and the corners are crossed by boxed pilasters.
