Palacio de Galiana, Medieval palace on the Tagus River bank, Toledo, Spain
The Palace of Galiana exhibits a rectangular structure with nine vaulted chambers, featuring characteristic Mudéjar architectural elements and a reflecting pond in front.
King Alfonso VIII stationed his army at this palace in 1212 before launching the successful military campaign against the Almohad Caliphate at Navas de Tolosa.
The building incorporates the preserved coats of arms of the Silva and Guzmán families within its intricate plasterwork, representing the noble families' ownership.
The palace functions as a venue for events, with guided tours available through mobile audio systems that explain the historical development and architectural features.
The palace grounds contained a botanical garden designed by pharmacologist Ibn al-Wafid, who cultivated various medicinal plants and herbs for scientific research.
