The Houses of Front were conceived as a strip, that is, as a public building of commercial services, although today it is in private hands. The façade has a horizontal structure of three bodies: the first - formed by a gallery of seven arches on pilars - follows the typical structure of the stand, present in a large number of Spanish public squares.

The main floor shows its holes with balconies and shields at the extremes, while the discharge is transformed into a gallery with half-point arches, larger than those of the City Hall.

The house was part of the majority created in 1571 by Doña María Baltodano, wife of Don Gome de Cárdenas. It will be Elvira Cárdenas Baltodano and her husband Don Luis Valdivia Figueroa, gentleman of Santiago, who begin the construction of the said house.

Two elements of very different use make up the house of the Children of Don Gome: the house of the inhabitants and the cavalry. On the façade of the house, built in a plane more advanced than that of the cavalry, stands out its porta-tower, built unlike the other elements of the set in sandstone. Portada- tower that was built in the second third of the 17th century by Don Gome de Valdivia, Cárdenas and Guzmán and Doña Mayor Nicuesa and that is formally framed in the Baroque style.

The façade, retranqued with respect to Maestra Street, is preceded by a spacious square, which was public until 1848, year which was annexed to the house and closed with a wall lined with door and half-point vanos.

The pillow cover is almost unnoticed by the exuberant decoration, two Indian-accent, repetitive heraldic, and a highlighted cornice, as more prominent elements. Inside are preserved the cavalry with part of the fish, a porticated courtyard and the winery.

The building currently has a cultural use, in it is located the Archaeological Museum Professor Sotomayor, is the seat of the courses of the University of Autumn of the University of Jaén and the corporation performs the plenums in the hall of the Caballeros

The arch of the cover of access to the porticated courtyard of the House of Palacio has two nobility shields, the one on the left corresponds to the Ponce de León, while the right belongs to the Condes de Garciez, for the fourth count was Lord of Mengibar. This main front is crowned with contemporary stone almenillas. After the arch, a beautiful courtyard is raised, composed of three half-point arches, a bit of brick, which rest on pillars. On the north front the main entrance of the house is raised with a simple cover with armchairs in the jambas and a lintel with cross in the center and the date of 1,663.

In 1808 Casa Palacio became a key space in the context of the Mengibar Action. The house served as accommodation for the troops led by General Reding. In the current dining room, we can see how the weight of the weaponry damaged the structure of the building and large wooden beams are preserved as points.

The house was acquired in the late 19th century by the family of the Girl. The members of this family gave the building the architectural and decorative aspect it has today. In the first decade of the 2000's, it became a hotel. Years later, the City of Mengibar would buy the property.

The built volume, which rests on a basement with stone vaults, is of two floors communicated by a staircase that starts from a corner of the courtyard. The walls are of ripian and tapial of remarkable thickness; the forging of rolls and in the configuration of the main courtyard were used jácenas of large squadría. The cover system is also woody, with chandelier and limas under Arab tile.

In the center of the construction is the main courtyard, with another secondary or garden in the back. The main courtyard, with a square floor, is visually reduced from its original proportions by adding partitions that allowed to protect two of the galleries and to enable a third room, leaving today only the northern panda. As a result of these changes, the elements of wood were altered, among which the large zapatas with the decoration of volts, spirals, crosses, etc. They are also to mention some cassette doors.

From the north-east angle of the courtyard starts the staircase, of a single stretch, covered by an orange half decorated with central floron and supported by pechines decorated by small heads of cherubim in plaster. The top of the staircase offers a flat double arch of a half-point cut that separates a factory machon.

The first floor has rooms for bedrooms with plaster shells on the entrance lintel. On the second floor there are three cameras, including the one that offers the façade to the Garden Street, open with a gallery of eight half-point arches.

The cover, located under that plunder, is high and sober and is shaped by simple Tuscan pilasters that flank the inintered vain.
