"En el centro de la Villa de Luarca, la Casa de los Marqueses de Gamoneda representa la clásica construcción señorial urbana de estilo barroco asturiano del siglo XVIII.
Fue construida para servir como vivienda de Don Juan Antonió Pérez Gamoneda y Cascos Villada morosprier Marqués de Gamoneda, título que le fue concedido por el Rey Carlos III en 1765 quien fue secretario real, caballero de Santiago camarista en el Consejo de Indias.
El edificio es de planta rectangular, con muros de mampostería pizarrosa revocada y sillería arenisca en cadenas esquineras y vanos. La cubierta es de lajas de pizarra a dos aguas, con faldón sobre la fachada principal.
La distribución espacial interior de planta baja, piso y desván sufrió distintas modificaciones en siglos pasados para adaptarla a nuevos usos. Destaca en la casona sobre el balcón central el escudo de armas de la familia Gamoneda, del que se dice que es uni de los más ostentosos blasones de Asturias.
Fue fonda de hospedaje durante el último siglo y actualmente alberga la sede de la exposición "Severo Ochoa" sobre la vida y obre científica del Premio Nobel."
