The outer portal consists of a round arch. Originally, there used to be two lowered portals that connected with the courtyard. Nowadays, this courtyard features numerous shops. The entrance is covered by a woven ceiling. On the sides, we will find blind arches that are supported by ionic columns and capitals integrated into the walls, featuring coat of arms. Even though these coat of arms have been erased with time and are thus hardly recognisable, we can still identify the Gual-Sanglada family coat of arms, showing the typical knight helmet. A large, lowered arch connects the interior with the open, cobbled patio. After crossing the patio, we reach an area that is again covered by a woven ceiling. This is from where the staircase leads up to the three floors. At the top of the staircase, we find a dome with glass windows that dates back to the XVIIIth century. Before reaching the entrance to the upper floor, a headstone dedicated to the musician Josep Balaguer, who used to be the owner of the Casal, can be found.

This is the first Museum of Footwear and Leather in the Balearic Islands. It opened fairly recently (in March 2010) and is currently displaying a permanent exhibition of machinery and objects related to the leather industry. It also has space set aside for temporary exhibitions and for holding events such as talks and presentations. The one-storey building is a place dedicated to footwear and to the culture that has grown up around it, which is very important to the city and region. The Museum is housed in the Former Cavalry Barracks, popularly known as the General Luque Barracks. The building was designed by Francesc Roca Simó and alterations were carried out by Captain of Engineers Joaquim Coll Fuster. It was inaugurated in 1915. It is made up of a main structure and several wings which enclose a stone-paved parade ground. The façades have a symmetrical layout. The central part stands forward from the rest and features a Gothic arch leading onto the parade ground
