The Casa de los Tiros is a 16th-century fortified palace in the centre of Granada, remarkable for its unusual facade — a crenellated wall with stone cannon barrels protruding from the battlements. This architectural quirk gives the house its name and makes it immediately recognisable in the streets around the Alcaicería.
The building now houses a small museum dedicated to Granada's history and the Romantic-era fascination with the city (Washington Irving wrote Tales of the Alhambra here in 1829). The collection includes engravings, portraits, and documents. The interior courtyard and the main rooms, with their carved ceilings, are the highlights.
