This house is remarkable for its form rather than its details. Completely built of adobe, fourteen rooms surround a central placita (courtyard). La Casa Redonda is one of the few fully realized courtyard houses in northern New Mexico. The house has a long and remarkable history. It once housed one of the Territory's leading merchant families, the Romeros; served as home for the Jesuit School for Boys; and was the headquarters for La Revista Catolica, a leading Spanish-language Jesuit newspaper, from 1875-1919.
