The building has a plant in the form of "L" as a result of the union of two buildings at right angles. The oldest part of Gothic style has a solid facade with stone ashlars in which a cover opens with semicircular arch. The most elongated part corresponds to the Renaissance building and has a gallery of five classical arches, at the bottom, with columns of the Tuscan order.
