Juana Pimentel and Enriquez was the third of the daughters of Pedro Pimentel and Quinones, brother of Rodrigo Alfonso Pimentel, IV Conde de Benavente (1451-1499) and father would be, since 1541, I Marquis de Tabara: Bernardino Pimentel.
His mother was the second wife of Don Pedro: Inés Enríquez de Guzmán , daughter of Enrique Enriquez, I Conde de Alba de Ready, and Maria Teresa de Guzman. From all this it would appear that Juana Pimentel, who served some time as a maid of honor of the Catholic Queen, was first cousin of Alonso Pimentel, V Conde de Benavente (1499-1530).
The start of construction of Casa de las Conchas de Salamanca is due to the initiative of Dr. Don Rodrigo Maldonado de Talavera, Salamanca Alderman, professor, ambassador of the Catholic Monarchs and founder of the Talavera Chapel of the old cathedral. To this end the council Rodrigo acquired a group of houses in one of the most dynamic environments in the town of Salamanca, in the plaza of Santa Catalina, with frontages to Merchants or Rua de San Martín and Sordolodo street, street today Company Meléndez street view.
But the building was substantially renovated and redecorated just to mark the marriage of Arias Maldonado, son of the founder of the House, with Joanna Pimentel. In fact, the repeating pattern of scallops façade has become world famous this building would be related, as required Julián Álvarez Villar, in the Pimentel family crest, rather than the Military Order of Santiago. Since this time the arms of both lineages, Maldonados and Pimentel, repeatedly various environments adorn the facade and the courtyard. Similarly, the third installment of the monumental staircase opens to a pinnacle on the baluster with the union of the arms of the Pimentel and Maldonado, a symbol of the alliance between the two families.
The marriage was concluded in 1494 between the parents of both families. Following the noble purposes of the time they signed a written agreement detailing the economic conditions. The final amount of the dowry amounted to a staggering two and a half million coppers, many perfectly justified by the quality of the ascending and the presence of IV Conde de Benavente as guarantor.
The text of the marriage and dowry writing was published in 1748 by Antonio Caetano de Sousa in their genealogical history Prova da da Casa Real Portuguez . It reads as follows:
