History of Casa de los Tiros
In the sixteenth century the Plaza de los Tiros was an ancient fortress
surrounded by Christian houses.
It later became state property and is currently is the Library.
The facade opens into a beautiful tower topped with battlements,
among which are muskets or shots (tiros) that gave its name to the house - Casa de los Tiros.
What to see in the Casa de los Tiros
The most interesting of the original building is a room called Cuadra Dorada,

and the spaces between joists are placed the busts of Spanish
kings and heroes with inscriptions that allude to their achievements.
