Dueñas Family Palace

This sixteenth-century Renaissance palace is currently the Secondary School Gómez Pereira, but its architecture has earned it the rating of historical artistic monument. It was built as a residence for Diego Beltran (Indian counselor), and designed by Luis de Vega, who was the architect of Carlos I.

Its facade is brick, in which the tower and stone cover are particularly outstanding, and above which the imposing heraldic shield of the House of Dueñas is displayed. The palace has a square floorplan, and although I could not see inside, they say that it has a beautiful coffered ceiling and a cloister, considered the jewel of the building for its stonework in its multiple arcs of the two floors.
