The small palace of the Pazos Figueroa family is a three-floor plateresque Renaissance-style building, with a Portuguese influence, located in the midst of the old quarter of Vigo. Built in the 16th century, it is the second oldest building in the city. The decorative wealth on the top floor balcony is of particular note, as are the rooftop gargoyles. The corresponding coat of arms is on the building’s façade. It is currently the headquarters of the Camôes Institute of Portuguese Culture in Vigo
