Renaissance legacy of Fonz

Image of Fonz, not of the place itself.

Fonz (Cinca Medio, Huesca) preserves eleven noble houses that reflect the town's Renaissance legacy, grouped around the arcaded plaza Mayor, declared a historic-artistic monument in 1976. Notable is the Gómez Alba palace, from the 16th century, with a lower stone section and upper brick floors, which has been a seminary, convent and school, and is today a home for the elderly. Also outstanding is the Casa Ric, built in 1613, with lunette vaults, eighteenth-century doorways and painted halls attributed to friar Manuel Bayeu, today home to the Archive-Library of the Barons of Valdeolivos. The ensemble is completed by other residences such as the Guilleuma, Camón, Moner, Fiscal, Montroset, Bardaxí and Carpi houses, in Renaissance and plateresque style.
