The most expensive property currently on sale in the Salamanca metropolitan area is the famous 'Casa de las Muertes' or ‘House of Deaths’. Designed by Juan de Álava, the same architect who designed the New Cathedral and the University chapel in Salamanca, this Plateresque building is more than 500 years old and is in the heart of the old town.
Built at the beginning of the 16th century, it has been catalogued as an Asset of Cultural Interest in Spain and owes its name to a mixture of history and legend. On the one hand, its nickname responds to the four stone skulls of its Renaissance facade and four strange deaths that occurred in the building supposedly at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

According to the information in the property listing on idealista, the Casa de las Muertes has 582 m2 of built surface area, which is 6,265 square feet, and includes eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a terrace, swimming pool, garden, several lounges and even its own chapel. All this is distributed over four floors (one of them below ground level) and is on the market now. It is being sold by the real estate agents Urbis Gestión Inmobiliaria and has a price of just over 3 million euros.
