The Director's House, also known as the Council House, is a historic building in the Bellavista district of Las Minas de Riotinto. It was built in 1883 by the Rio Tinto Company Limited (RTC), a British company that exploited the mines for more than 100 years. The Director's House was the official residence of the Director General of the RTC. The building is an example of Victorian architecture. It has a rectangular plan and is built of red brick and stone. The facade is decorated with Victorian elements such as arched windows and wrought iron balconies. Unfortunately, it is currently more in ruins as the restoration that began pre-COVID has not yet continued.
