Place: Granada
Kind: Palace
Built: 16th century

Visiting: Open to visit

The 16th-century house which, because it was part of the wall of the Alfareros quarter, looks like a fortress; only the keep survives from the original building. Its name comes from the pieces of artillery on its battlements, and the façade carries five statues of ancient heroes: Hercules, Theseus, Mercury, Jason and Hector. It is now the Museo Casa de los Tiros, a museum of the history of the city.
