History and features
The coat-of-arms route suggests viewing 24 façades along several streets. These houses form part of a lived-in townscape: heraldic details should be viewed from the street and do not justify entering buildings or courtyards.
The alternative name “de Bedoya” appears in local tradition and tourism literature. For specific dates and family attributions, heritage inventories and historical records should take precedence, as names can vary between sources.
Planning your visit
View the tower from public space; no regular interior visits have been confirmed.
Protecting the site
The site’s historical importance does not mean it is open to the public. The map shows the general area and does not identify any visitor entrance.
