A simple portal introduces the driveway compartment covered with barrel vaults in which some essential elements of social life can be seen such as the pile and the cistern. Beyond this space is the small courtyard where the rooms on the ground floor overlook. From the driveway compartment a door gives access to a simple staircase that ends on the upper floor balcony. This, in addition to allowing the view inside the same courtyard, leads to the apartment on the first floor. The driveway terrace has kept its original function and still allows its inhabitants a discreet view of the street. Also other houses in via D’Aruca have the same architectural structure but not all of them have kept the original overlooking the street due to the elevations occurred over the years.
