Palace of the counts of Isla-Fernández, Aristocratic palace in Isla, Spain.
Description
The Palace of the counts of Isla-Fernández is a rectangular stone structure with a classical south-facing entrance where a relieved arch sits between recessed pilasters and a projecting balcony above. The grounds are surrounded by tall crenellated walls punctuated by circular towers that give the complex a fortified appearance.
History
The palace was built in the late 17th century as a noble family residence following the classical style that dominated the Trasmiera region at that time. Its fortified walls reflect the importance and security concerns of the aristocracy during this period.
Culture
The residence served as the family seat for generations and remains a defining landmark in the village. Walking around it, you notice how its design reflects the power and status of those who lived within.
Practical
Access to the grounds is managed by the high perimeter walls which create a clear boundary around the property. Plan to walk around the exterior to appreciate the full structure and the tower placements along the walls.

A chapel wing at the rear ends with Herrerian-style pyramids crowning its corners, an architectural touch linked to Habsburg artistic influence. This detail shows how local design drew inspiration from broader European movements of that era.
