Staircase of the Palace of Jabalquinto, Baeza
Description
The monumental staircase dates from the early 17th C. It has one upward flight and two downward flights, and opens and closes with a triple round arch, topped with a barrel vault, which was completely transformed when it was last restored. The heavily-decorated Baroque-style tympana of the side arches to the monumental stairway (with two magnificent doors featuring lacería ornamental motifs) and the sides of the first flight are from the 18th C.
The remains of polychromes from the mid-16th C. alfarje (panelled ceiling) are conserved in the bay of the facade. The decoration continues with a 17th C. coffered ceiling with large sunken panels, laid over the top of the original ceiling.
