Salamanca - Casa de las Muertes

At the end of Calle de las Úrsulas lies a little square with a monument to the writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, who was also Rector of the University. Opposite it is the Casa de las Muertes, a 15th century mansion in Plateresque style which takes its name from the skulls on the upper part of the facade. In a medallion over the doorway is a bust of Archbishop Fonseca.
