Casa Diego de Mazariegos, the house built in the 1530s by Mazariegos, one of the founders of the city (known in those days as Ciudad Real, Royal City). The building currently houses "La Galeria", an arts and crafts gallery, as well as a pizza parlor. However the pizza parlor is closed for renovation, and will become an inn of some sort. The gallery, at least, is run by Kiki Suarez, an artist of some fame.
