Property located in the main square of Teguise having one of the main buildings of its typology in the Canary Island context. It was built between 1730 and 1780 on the old houses of the inquisitors, as it was the seat of the Court of the Holy Office, by Mr. Tom s Feo Peraza.

We highlight among its inhabitants Jos Feo Armas, protagonist of the politics of his time. In the second half of the twentieth century, a descendant of the Ugly family, Adelina Feo Curbelo, married Angel No Nocio Cancio, being the first time, this surname appears related to the history of housing.

In the decade of the seventies of the twentieth century it was intervened by the architect Fernado Higueras and decorated by Jos Dom nguez del Rio and Cesar Manrique, for in 1989 it was declared the official residence of the Government of the Canary Islands, being also a museum managed by the City of Teguise.

It is an Orial house that already announces on its facade, a large stepped doorway and six windowed windows, the architectural potential that encloses between its perimeter walls. Its structure stands out, the roofs with stone without plastering on the beams, the kitchen, the chapel and the patios with reservoirs.

Traditional urban house of medium size and one floor. Its cover has a stone frame and a two-leaf door with squares in reliefs. There are also three steps of carved black stone on the facade, very frequent in Teguise. The whole of the facade is completed by five windows of cuarterones and shutters, some macetones of auction in the eaves.

The main entrance with stone tile floor, on both sides, large rooms with low plaster ceiling and wooden floors. The upper rooms are covered with stones without plastering, hanging between the beams.

The Sp Nola Palace is one of the most important private residences that have been preserved and it is worth mentioning the chapel with wooden altarpiece of the 18th century, the galleries, stairways, patios with reservoirs, kitchen and barns.
