This house (which also goes by the name of Agirrebeña) was the seat of the estate, or mayorazgo, founded by Juan Martínez de Marutegi Azkarate, the royal paymaster.

It has an elegant corner balcony dating from the early 17th century, as well as a finely worked coat of arms. The building consists of a ground floor, two upper floors, and an attic. On the outside, the separation on the ground floor involves a cornice featuring putti, plant motifs, nereids and tritons.

The façade that gives onto San Pedro Street is decorated with 53 extremely beautiful multicoloured ceramic tiles. These pieces were made in Germany in the first half of the 16th century, and they were originally designed for a fireplace, although in the end they were put to the ornamental use they continue to have now. Some of the tiles feature the Emperor Charles V.

The presence of the Renaissance fireplace on the Iberian Peninsula and its use as a decorative feature constitute an extraordinary development.
