About
Salamanca, Spain. Built at the end of the fifteenth century by Rodrigo Arias de Maldonado, a knight of the order of Santiago, this city palace is decorated with more than 300 scallop shells.. The shells on the front of the house allude to that order since the scallop shell is traditionally associated with St. James--Santiago. With thanks to Wikipedia.
