Casa Pérez de los Cobos, Jumilla

A palatial 16th century residence which is currently being restored

The Casa Pérez de los Cobos in Jumilla is a palatial residence dating from the 16th century which stands on Calle del Rico (appropriately, the “street of the rich man”, named after the man who commissioned its construction, Francisco Pérez de los Cobos!). The façade stands out due to its wrought iron window grills and the stone coat of arms above the ornate doorway on a pediment which is supported by rampant lions: this coat of arms belonged to the Pérez de los Cobos family.

The building, which is also known as the Casa Honda del Barón del Solar de Espinosa and the Casa Solariega de los Cutillas, passed from the hands of the Pérez de los Cobos into the ownership of those families, and during its history has also been used as an inn and a grain store, as well as the local home of the newspaper La Opinión.

The house is currently being restored, and only the outside can be seen.

Address: Calle del Rico, 14, 30520 Jumilla (click for map).
