Casa de Las Tejerinas
A fifteenth-century building at the northern end of the Plaza de las Flores. Listed in the old town's protected heritage catalogue. Architecture that doesn't need a sign to make itself noticed.
About this place
The building occupies one side of the Plaza de las Flores and is one of the few fifteenth-century structures still standing in the historic quarter. Its rectangular floor plan preserves original stonework integrated into later renovations. The name comes from the Tejerina family, who owned the building for several centuries. It is now in mixed use and forms part of the protected architectural heritage catalogue. It is one of the few places in the old town where you can see directly how fifteenth-century architecture coexists with twenty-first-century daily life, with no museum interpretation of any kind.
