Where emissaries of Prince Condé negotiated a truce

A commemorative plaque on Casa Casadevante marks a moment in history where local authorities and emissaries of Prince Condé negotiated the terms of a truce following the heroic siege of MDCXXXVIII. Today, the building serves as a hotel while preserving its role as a site of historical negotiation.

The structure was likely built during the late 16th or early 17th century. Located on the main street of the Old Town, it shares a similar appearance with the nearby Zuloaga Palace and sits between the churches of Jasokundea and Sagarrondoko Andre Maria.

Exterior ashlar masonry features quoins with alternating circular and plant motifs. The ground floor entrance is flanked by Tuscan columns beneath a frieze carved with flowers and plants. The upper floors have balconies with triangular pediments, and the windows feature carved stone ornaments with classicist styles.

In the modern era, the building functions as a hotel. It remains a part of the cultural heritage of Gipuzkoa, standing as a landmark where visitors can view the architectural details of the era and the site of past negotiations.
