El Quexigal, Renaissance palace in Cebreros, Spain
The palace complex includes multiple buildings, underground cellars, and agricultural structures spread across the eastern outskirts of Cebreros.
Felipe II commissioned architect Juan de Herrera to design this estate, which served as both a royal retreat and a monastery rest house.
The chapel within the complex contains detailed wooden coffered ceilings that reflect the architectural methods of Spanish Renaissance construction.
Located 12 kilometers east of Cebreros, the palace grounds maintain various structures that visitors can observe from designated viewing areas.
This Renaissance agricultural complex remains the only surviving example of its type in Spain, combining royal leisure with monastic agricultural production.
