Guirola Mansion

The Guirola Mansion, better known as the Casa de las Águilas, is a historical landmark in the city of Santa Tecla, El Salvador which also served as a residence of the Guirola family.

Blending neoclassical, baroque, and arabesque elements in the architecture, the construction of the residence was completed in 1913 near the San Martín Park in the city.

The property was built by Rafael Guirola Duke (1864-1919) in the early 20th century as a gift to his two daughters. Rafael was the son of Ángel Guirola (1826-1910) a businessman, politician, banker, and patriarch of the Guirola family in Santa Tecla. The property thus became an iconic landmark and symbol of the family's wealth. ^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
