House of the Admiral. María Forcada Foundation (Tudela)

It was built around 1540 following the architectural models of the Ebro Valley (ground floor, main floor and attic with a gallery of arches), but its façade with Plateresque decoration is noteworthy, with a very extensive mythological programme. The first floor is plain, while the third floor has square windows on ledges. Between the windows are anthropomorphic figures holding a frieze depicting Hercules between vice, with a woman whose breast is bitten by a snake, and virtue. The friezes are decorated with medallions, angels and masks. It currently houses the María Forcada Foundation.
