[Av. 13/calle 3]. It`s built in 1930 in ornamental Moorish style by spanish man Anastasio Herrero. The majority of building materials were brought from Italy and Spain. It`s distinguished by small turrets. It`s decorated with rows of keyhole windows and plaster crenellations. It has strips of hand-painted tails that border the dome. The first owner was Senor Anastasio Herrero. Later was bought by Dona Luz Quiros de Rodriguez, mother of archbishop Carlos Humberto Rodriguez. In 2002 the court granted the house for a grandson of one of bishop`s sisters - Jorge Ignacio Guier Acosta.
