The house of Archdeacon Louis Desplat was probably built at the beginning of the 2nd millennium and since then has been constantly subjected to various alterations, as a result of which one can find many Gothic and Renaissance elements in it. The courtyard with a fountain and a terrace was built in the 16th century, so here the Renaissance is felt most strongly.
On the main faç ade of the house is a modernist mailbox, commissioned by the Bar Association in 1895. The three swallows depicted on it symbolize the independence of justice, and the turtle - all sorts of bureaucratic delays and procedures. Address: Calle Santa Llucia 1. Access to the courtyard is free.
