Staircase

Crossing the main hallway of the house, one arrives at entrance hall, from which there is a baroque imperial staircase from the 18th century, with the longitudinal axis parallel to the façade. It is articulated by means of two parallel lateral flights of ascent that lead to a landing, from which a central flight of stairs leads to the main floor. The stairwell, of great height, is covered by a groin vault, which translates to the exterior in a cubic body covered by a hipped roof, with two large thermal windows, thanks to which the box is illuminated, and that obey the remodeling that the house underwent in the nineteenth century. This staircase responds to a usual model in the Navarrese Baroque that we can see in other buildings such as the palace of the Marquis of Feria de Tafalla or the Navarrese palaces of Tafalla and Episcopal of Pamplona.

It presents a rich decoration of agreement to its condition of representation space. Thus, on the side walls hang two large painted canvases development, imitating tapestries, with stories of Rome. On the front wall are the oil portraits of Don Tiburcio Redín y Cruzat, Baron of Bigüezal, a copy of the original by Francesco Rizzi kept in the Museo del Prado, commissioned by Don Tiburcio Mencos y Bernaldo de Quiros, and that of Queen María Luisa Gabriela of Savoy, first wife of Philip V, a work by Juan Vicente de Ribera. In the center, a bust of Martín de Redín y Cruzat, grand prior of the Order of St. John in Navarre and later grand master of the Order of Malta from 1657 to 1660, and above this, an eighteenth-century heraldic shield with the arms of the Mencos, from the convent of Recoletas, and a linteled latticed opening. The decoration is completed by two antique chests, a collection of engravings of illustrious men of the 19th century and three nineteenth-century tondos with children playing.
