Traditional Orial style house built in the middle of the 18th century and renovated during the 19th century. It has two floors with flat roof cover. This property, originally, was structured from two courtyards, one central and the other located at the rear, both containing the corresponding reservoirs that define the domestic space of a traditional single-family home in the context of La Villa de Teguise and from Lanzarote.

The property was converted into a Nursing School, a teaching institution linked academically to the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and headquarters of that university.

It is currently the House of Culture of the Hon. Teguise Town Hall
