Lonely Planet review

With its wide covered gallery, this house is said to be typical of aristocratic residences built around 1737. Although named after the counts of Jaruco, the house's most famous resident was María Mercedes de Santa Cruz y Cárdenas, a famous countess of Merlín, who was born in the mansion and went on to become one of the city's early literary greats. Today the building houses La Casona Centro de Arte.
