The Administration House of the Pious Foundations of Cardinal Belluga y Moncada
Conference by Francisco Domingo Larrosa Gil, «The Administration House of the Pious Foundations of Cardinal Belluga y Moncada in the Town o f Dolores», sponsored by the University of Alicante, Archbishop Loazes Chair, Orihuela University Venue, coordinated by Dr. Gregorio Canales Martínez, Academic Coordinator of the Chair.
The main objective of the conference was to analyze and identify the coats of arms present on the façade of the former Administration House of the Pious Foundations of Cardinal Belluga y Moncada, located in the town of Dolores, Alicante. Through a historical and heraldic approach, the evolution of the property and changes in its ownership were detailed. Initially, the arms of the first Count of Pinohermoso, Juan Nepomuceno Mariano Roca de Togores y Escorcia, 1752–1794, who acquired the building after its disentailment, were identified. His coat of arms, featuring the cross of the Order of Malta, confirms his connection to this order as a Knight of the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes, and Malta. This emblem does not appear in subsequent armorial bearings of holders of this title, securing its identification as belonging to the building's first noble owner. The transition of the property from its original association with Cardinal Belluga y Moncada to the House of the Marquisate of Rafal was then highlighted, possibly acquired by Antonia María de Heredia y Rocamora, 8th Marchioness of Rafal, or her son, Vicente Melo de Portugal y Heredia, 9th Marquis of Rafal, between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Subsequently, the property was sold in 1927 to a merchant known as Don Juan del Arroz and, finally, demolished in 1960.
In the image, two photos of armorial stones from the Roca-Togores lineage and two delineations made by me, extracted from these armorial stones, which were presented during the conference.

Coat of arms of the Lord of South Clifton emblazoned by me. In heraldry, there are two types of tigers with specific names in both English and Castilian: the «tyger» in English I call «tigre heráldico» in Castilian, and the «tiger» in English I refer to as «tigre» in Castilian, omitting the Bengal qualifier that some authors use for the natural tiger. According to [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; page 191, figures 322-325], the differences between these two representations are significant. The «tyger», or «tigre heráldico», is a fantastical animal, created from the imagination of medieval artists who were unfamiliar with the real animal but knew of its existence through distant descriptions. This heraldic tyger has a body resembling that of the natural tiger, but with a mane like that of a lion, a tufted tail, and a peculiar head that looks more like a wolf than a natural tiger. Additionally, it lacks the characteristic stripes of the Bengal tiger. Recall that the heraldic panther is also an example of a fantastical animal, breathing fire from its nose and ears and covered in colorful spots. On the other hand, the natural «tiger», identified as the «Bengal tiger» by [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; page 191, figures 324-325], appears in heraldry later and is a more realistic depiction of the animal as it exists in nature.
