Casa de Montesa

The disappeared residency program of the Marquis of Montesa in Tudela was known as "Casa del Liceo", due to the cultural gathering there in the 19th century. Its origins lie in the house of the Viscount of Castejón, located next to the demolished parish church of San Salvador. In 1680, the house was seized from the heirs and passed to the Montesa family, who enlarged it using the rooms of the former convent of Santa Clara, which was moved to degree program.

Jorge Vicent de Montesa y Gante had the main staircase built, which survived until the house was demolished in the 1950s. It was made of an inverted imperial subject under a vault with a central pinjante. Until then, it was also possible to see the large conference room covered by a magnificent ceiling of wooden coffered ceilings with painted decoration.
