Labastida House

It occupies the prominent corner at the back of the cathedral, between the street Portal which leave al Puente and the old almudí, with which it maintained a conflictive neighbourly relationship over several centuries. Juan Francisco de Labastida y Ocón, a descendant of a noble family from La Rioja, a stockbreeder and wool exporter, whose relatives were famous carpenters, promoted it as his residency program in 1731 when he bought the site, which was a small garden.

Under the design of the master builder Fernández Luco, there is a large façade of exposed brick, stone façade and upper gallery; it also hides a premature imperial staircase behind a triple access arch and sheltered under a flat roof on pendentives of variegated fruit plasterwork, highlighting a colourful mask on the front wall. The conference room , which acts as a distributor, has a picturesque nineteenth-century set of neo-baroque frescoes, with imitation marble.
