With the most ominous plateresque façade to be found in Salamanca, it’s little wonder this place is known as the House of the Dead. It was built for the archbishop Alonso de Fonseca in the 16th century, whose bust adorns its façade along with cherubs and lots of leering skulls (can skulls leer?). Never shy about attaching legends to accommodating subjects, Spaniards claim that a priest was once murdered inside.
