Casa de la Marquesa - Navia, Asturias, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"Asegura Luis Navia Osorio que la denominada Casa de la Marquesa fue solar de la familia Cañedo, luego Luaces Cañedo, a quienes les fue adquirida en 1952 por el Marqués de Santa Cruz de Marcenado, cuya ascendencia hubo de ser la primera propietaria de esta singular casona nobiliaria del siglo XVII, que luce en su fachada sur las armas de las casas emparentadas con los titulares, los mencionados marqueses de Santa Cruz de Marcenado y Vizcondes de Puerto (ambos títulos localizados en Siero): Navia (los dragantes sostienen una barra, no la habitual banda); Lantoira (castillo de tres torres y lanza apoyada), Cuervo (seis cuervos); Montenegro (M mayúscula coronada) y Avilés (dos galeones de la armada del almirante Ramón Bonifaz que rompen las cadenas que impedian el acceso por vía fluvial a Sevilla). En la fachada norte, que da a la plaza del Ayuntamiento, un poderoso escudo, enmarcado por un delicado alfiz, muestra las ostentosas y habituales armas de Villamil, consistente en el guerrero con espada al cinto y alabarda. En la actualidad, es propiedad de la familia Suárez Fernández, oriunda de Navia y residente en la República de Méjico. El edificio anejo, de gran armonia estructural, muestra una excelente portada de medio punto resuelto en fina cantería labrada y, asimismo en la planta baja, dos ventanales de canteria de arcos carpaneles de delicada factura.

eng: "Luis Navia Osorio assures that the so-called Casa de la Marquesa was the land of the Cañedo family, later Luaces Cañedo, from whom it was acquired in 1952 by the Marqués de Santa Cruz de Marcenado, whose ancestry had to be the first owner of this unique house nobiliary of the 17th century, which shows on its south facade the arms of the houses related to the holders, the aforementioned Marquis of Santa Cruz de Marcenado and Vizcondes de Puerto (both titles located in Siero): Navia (the dragants hold a bar, not the usual band); Lantoira (castle with three towers and supported lance), Cuervo (six crows); Montenegro (crowned capital M) and Avilés (two galleons from Admiral Ramón Bonifaz's navy that break the chains that prevented access by river to Seville). On the north façade, which overlooks the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, a powerful shield, framed by a delicate alfiz, shows the ostentatious and usual weapons of Villamil, consisting of the warrior with a sword on his belt and a halberd. At present, it is owned by the Suárez Fernández family, a native of Navia and resident in the Republic of Mexico. The annexed building, of great structural harmony, shows an excellent semicircular façade resolved in fine carved stonework and, also on the ground floor, two masonry windows with delicate carpal arches.
