Casa Aragonese

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:15:25

A characteristic of Fordongianus is the rusty-red trachyte stone that so many of its buildings are made of. As red as the rest is the lovely late-16th-century Casa Aragonese, a typical Catalan noble house with a columned loggia and Gothic windows and portal. The strange statues outside, also fashioned from the ubiquitous trachyte, are the result of an annual sculpture competition held here.
