Monument · Baells, La Litera, Huesca

The fortified palace of the Desvalls family, in Baells (La Litera, Huesca), listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection), stands next to the parish church, in the centre of the town. It is a rectangular residential building of about 24 by 15 metres, with a tower projecting at one of its corners. Built of ashlar, its main façade is topped by a brick section with a gallery of semicircular arches in Aragonese Renaissance style. The tower preserves twin Gothic-style windows and is covered by a hip roof.
