The Miranda and the main house of their Mayorazgo in Baza (16th-20th centuries)

Abstract

The house of the mayorazgo of the Miranda, construction of the XVI-XVII centuries with remodelling in the transit of the eight hundred to the nine hundred, is cataloged in the PGOU (Baza, 2010) as a property of singular value for its architectural values, for its patio and for its main façade with stonework cover crowned by the family shield. As a previous step to its study we will outline a biography of the Miranda, from their arrival in the city in the early seventeenth century until the early twentieth century, at which time all relationship between the house and the family is lost, after its sale in 1909.
