The house-palace known as Casa del Águila/eagle’s house belonged to the Velasco family. Don Luís de Velasco, second viceroy of New Spain, was born in there. Located in the Plaza de Santa María, in front of the church of the same name. On its facade we can see an eagle holding the Velasco Family coat of arms, and higher up on the far right there’s the Mendoza’s heraldic symbol, this family was linked to Velasco linage by marriage, for this reason their coat of arms also appears in this house.
