Casa y lagar de Martinón

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Category: Architecture · Subcategory: Civil architecture · Year: S. XIX

This is one of the best examples of traditional architecture intended for agricultural exploitation in this entire area.

Built at the beginning of the 19th century, the complex consists of an "L" shaped two-storey house with four-sided tiled roofs; a winery occupying a long bay with an angled annex; and an intermediate covered space, but open to the interior, where the wine press is located. 

The manor house has the staircase on its shorter side from where you access the upper gallery leading to the bedrooms interconnected with each other. The openings, symmetrically arranged, are framed in stonework.
