THE HOUSE
Entrance
This is one of the great mansion houses in Arcos. Those interested
in the spiritual will sense a powerful energy immediately on entering
the large inner patio (pictured right with its long vaulted ceiling).

Casa Campana.
Roman
stone
At the back of the inner
patio you'll find a Roman memorial stone (pictured right). We know it
precedes the reign of Augustus (31 B.C. - 14 A.D.) because of the
style of lettering on its inscription. This marble stone was
discovered long ago in an old house nearby, and later it was
transferred here.
Stone
of unknown origin
At the top of the stairs
there is a carved stone with a spiral shape inside a lozenge, also set
into the wall (pictured right). We know very little about the meaning
of the symbol, nor to what period the stone belongs. We think it could
be Roman, Celtic or Moorish!
