Ezquerra House

It is located in the district of San Julián, next to the old house of Comedias and convent of La Merced, currently the Market. The lineage of Burgos origin comes from its branch in Huesca, arriving in Tudela in 1680 when it was united by marriage with the Ederra de Ustárroz family. The master builder José Ezquerra began its construction in 1695, the first phase of a fruitful expansion policy that lasted until 1756 by annexing neighbouring buildings, including the house of Canon Delgado, which he himself built. The famous sailor José Ezquerra Guirior lived in Ezquerra's house at the end of the 18th century.

It consists of a large brick block with a semicircular doorway and a magnificent polychrome alabaster coat of arms, attributable to the retablist Francisco Gurrea. There are two more coats of arms, one in the entrance hall and another at the top of the flat vault over rococo plasterwork on the main staircase in a single flight. As a curiosity, the bas-reliefs that reproduce prints of Don Quixote that the young Joaquín José Ezquerra Larrea drew on the walls of the roof in 1740 stand out.
