Set on the northern side of Parque Bicentenario, this fine mansion was built in 1927 by Gómez for his favorite mistress, Dolores Amelia Núñez de Cáceres. Designed in the neo-Sevillan style, the building has been nicely restored, but today is a medical facility. Tourists can take a look around the inner patio, which is clad with glorious azulejos (ornamental tiles), reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada.
