This Palace is a rural palatial house with a rectangular plan, divided into two hollow squares in the central area, thus creating several wings, composing two patios that are connected to each other through large openings on the ground floor. While the backyard is closed, the front yard is open, thus allowing the view of the main facade which is set back and facing west. To access the noble floor, there are double staircases repeated on the transversal façades of both patios, one to the east and two to the west, which makes the symmetry and the Baroque movement of the entire ornamentation even more accentuated.
The volume and proportions between the atrium and the side wings, together with the staircase, and with the sculptural enrichment through four figures; two at the entrance door, and two on the eyebrow, of different scales; as well as the gigantic urns, constituting a harmonious scenographic composition that makes this building a masterpiece of European Baroque.
