Quijotes del Patrimonio - Manor house for sale: Spain

Torre de Borrás is an early 20th-century building complex originally erected as a sanatorium and now abandoned. The principal building on the approximately 4,000 sqm / 1 acre plot is a neoclassical and eclectic villa with a 25-metre-wide street façade and a distinctive accessible tower featuring a roof terrace and balustrade, from which extensive views open across Ferrol Bay.

Built in the 15th century, this building served as a residence for canons until the 19th century. It is now known as the "Casa del Diablo" (House of the Devil) because around 1836 it housed a prominent anticlerical revolutionary nicknamed "El Diablo Royo" (The Red Devil), both for his red hair and his rather unsavoury conduct.
