La Casa de las Ventanas de Hierro (The House of the Iron Windows), Zamora Street

The House of the Iron Windows was built by Don José Francisco Garcés de la Colina in 1765. The name of the house obey to the big brown wrought-iron grilles imported from Santo Domingo, (island which Coro kept close relations), at a time when the locals used only wood. This caused quite a sensation. Later, iron grilles became typical all over the country.
