BURGOS. The Casa De Miranda. Elevation, Plan, and Details of the Patio
A typical example of a Spanish nobleman’s town residence which was built by the famous Condes de Miranda, and is now in a half-ruined condition.
This fine stone patio contains some of the best bracket capitals in Spain. The doorway from the Callee la Calera has two columns on either side and is surmounted by a beautifully sculptured panel ornamented with female figures, and shields.
Over the staircase is a richly paneled stone vault, somewhat similar to the example in the college of San Gregorio at Valladolid.
