The contrast between the plastered facade and the natural stone that divides the building is striking . In the second half of the 19th century, the neo-Gothic style, understood as an ecclesiastical style, determines the architectural style of the building with the ogival framed windows and the applied decorative shapes such as the tracery strip running through the second floor .
