Description
This magnificent edifice houses the National Ceramics Museum. In 1740, the Marquis commissioned artist Hipólito Rovira and sculptor Ignacio Vergara to renovate his austere 15C residence in a Baroque vein. All its walls were painted by Luis Domingo to give a marbled effect, rich balconies were added, and the crowning glory was the ornate frame of an alabaster doorway with its high-relief anthropomorphic and foliate carvings.
