Main house of the Mutiloa family

Originally from the palace of Mutilva Alta, they were a noble family of noble ancestry, who lived off the income from their possessions and entailed estates, occupying the mayor's office and the deputation on several occasions. Lords of the palace of Egües, they increased their belongings thanks to the marriages of their members with the palace of Andueza in the Araiz valley. One of its members, José, son of the marriage formed by Juan José Mutiloa and Margarita de Lodosa y Andueza, sought his future abroad, specifically studying in Salamanca, and later occupying important positions in the State administration, reaching the committee of the Inquisition and the committee of Castile, the most important in 1730. In Madrid he combined all of this with private business, in the hands of Navarrese businessmen. When he died, his inheritance favored his nephew Vicente Pedro, then head of the family in Pamplona, and he reformed the family house from 1748 onwards. It is noteworthy that the original coat of arms was preserved inside, so that it would be clear that the noble lineage of the family had its roots from time immemorial, unlike the new nobility, enriched quickly by business, often suspicious.
