The mayor Manuel Zañartu, with his family coat of arms displayed on the facade, inhabited this large beautiful home, according to legend. It was built between the years 1750-1756 with daub, and has two floors. It is a wonderful colonial style, with a large wooden door and different sized windows making it quite eye catching. On the second floor is a flowing balcony and in the corner is a stone pillar. Today it is a National Monument, is in perfect condition, and is a cultural center where painting exhibitions occasionally take place.
