This simply-decorated 16th century stately home is located close to the San Benito Church and the pretty little Plaza del Corrillo. The façade is very similar to the Corpus Christi Church which was founded by one of the Solís family and was probably designed by the same architect as the house. The doorway is in the shape of an alfiz (rectangular surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped arch) and features the Solís family coat-of-arms and insignia belonging to other noble branches of the family. The balustrade resembles a medieval tower. The building now belongs to the university's publications department. It is not open to the public.
