Casa de las Conchas

The Casa de las Conchas is a late Gothic town palace in Salamanca, built between 1493 and 1517 for Rodrigo Arias Maldonado, a knight of the Order of Santiago. Its façade is set with more than 300 carved scallop shells, the emblem of the order. The building houses the city's public library, and visitors can enter its arcaded courtyard.
