It has three facades, a main one that houses the coat of arms, which is fixed to a monumental granite pilaster that fastens the building vertically, and two secondary ones, one of which locates a beautiful granite exterior staircase.

Very close are three windows of two beams surpassed by a lintel, and a rectangular window is located above.
