The Palau dels Marquesos d'Alòs is a house located near the apse of the parish church in Castellterçol. It was built in 1674 by the Taiadella, also known as Talladella, family, who came from a farm of the same name in Castellcir.
The building consists of a ground floor, a first floor, and attics. The main facade features a portal that defines a symmetrical axis marked by three balconies on the first floor. The entrance door is a semi-circular arch surrounded by stonework. The central keystone features the coat of arms of the Taiadella family, with a winged angel head at the bottom and an elm tree at the top.
The coat of arms consists of a tree in the center, a hand cutting the tree trunk with a sickle to the right, and a crescent moon to the left. Four highly deteriorated decorative brackets support the balcony of the noble floor. The roof, made of wooden tiling, features figurative wooden gargoyles at the vertices. On the left side, a balcony of medieval inspiration has been opened.
