Coat of arms on the façade of Casa Eguino, carved in stone with exuberant vegetal ornament in relief. Beneath the cartouche inscribed “EGVINO” are a helm, with an arm brandishing a sword, and the shield, which brings together a tree with a wild boar, a castle and several heads.
History
Casa Eguino (Kale Nagusia 17) is a Baroque mansion on a corner of Hernani's old town, with façades on Kale Nagusia, Nafar kalea and Iturriaga. In 1939 it was converted into flats, keeping its façade, and it was rehabilitated after the fire of 2006. The coats of arms are on the first floor, between the windows. The heads are Turkish and may be linked to the battle of Lepanto (1571). There are two coats of arms, but they are not identical, and it is not known which one is the original. The family is thought to come from Álava.
