Manor houses

They are very abundant, and generally of high historical value, with characteristics very similar to the palace, but of smaller dimensions. Located between party walls, in some cases the central courtyard disappears, leaving only the rear. The facade still predominantly features blind panels over openings, with the entrance standing out from the rest of the facade, being more decorated and larger. The 18th-century manor house, predecessor of the 19th-century urban house, is still preserved, although undergoing a rapid process of deterioration.

In the civil architecture of the 19th century, there are two quite clear moments. The initial one still includes the typologies of public buildings and manor houses from previous centuries. Subsequently, the urban house, inherited from the 18th century, emerges and is repeated until the mid-20th century, when it loses its character and personality. Facades are dominated by the adaptation, at each moment, to urban models and dominant styles.

Functionally, it consists of two or three floors with balconies on the main floor, usually flanked by a row of pilasters. There are many examples of neo-Gothic, neo-Mudejar, and above all neo-Renaissance styles, which are proudly displayed by the bourgeoisie and banking establishments. There are significant examples of modernism in large houses and residential buildings, with wrought iron or stone portals, elaborately worked metal or stone bay windows, glazed balconies with frosted and decorated glass, and intricately crafted wrought iron railings.
