It is one of the most outstanding examples of Canarian architecture. The construction of the facade dates from 1681, date after the construction of the house. It is on this date that Crist bal Salazar de Frias, count of the Salazar Valley, specifies with the stonework teachers Juan Lizcano and Andr s Rodr guez Bello the execution of the plan prepared by the carpenter master Juan Gonz lez de Castro Illiada that previously had He has worked in the interior coffered ceilings. It is in 1687 when the construction work on the facade is completed, except for the closing of the main door by the same house in Nava, Andr s Rodr guez Bello around 1689.

The composition of the facade on two floors derives from the scheme adopted in the Nava Palace, except for slight modifications. Among them it is possible to mention: the apricots of the inferior openings; the striated columns attached to pilasters that flank the hollowed holes of the second floor; the small turrets located at the ends of the facade and the omission of the balustrade finish. The frontispiece ends in a central parapet that houses the marble shield where the thirteen stars of the Salazars appear.

GASPARINI, Graciano: The Architecture of the Canary Islands 1420-1788 (1995)


Graziano Gasparini in his work (The Architecture of the Canary Islands 1420-1788) says that in La Laguna there are two unique monuments within the repertoire of residential urban architecture that are not limited to highlighting their respective covers on the background wall, but that They introduce the concept of the palace facade of the Italian Cinquecento : that is, a design that seeks the total solution of the front and in which each element is a function of all the others.

These are the nava and Grim n palaces (Marquises of Villanueva del Prado) in the Plaza del Adelantado, and Salazar de Frias (counts of the Salazar Valley) today Bishopric, in the street of San Agust n. Although between the beginning of the construction of one and another half more than half a century, both are a good example of Renaissance scholarly architecture, both use the same classicist expression and both accuse the same compositional approach. In addition, there was a mutual exchange of influences among them; it is evident that the Nava palace inspires the facade of Salazar's, but it influenced the central baroque auction with Solomonic columns, placed in the Nava palace from 1776 on the V mark of Villanueva del Prado.
