Palacio de los Marqueses de Peñaflor

The palace features a monumental facade with a 59-meter-long balcony, white marble columns in the central courtyard, and decorative elements throughout its structure.

Construction of the palace took place between 1700 and 1775 under Antonio Fernández de Henestrosa, fourth Marquis of Peñaflor, incorporating elements from earlier 16th-century buildings.

The palace demonstrates the architectural preferences of Spanish nobility during the 18th century through its marble fountain, imperial staircase, and religious artworks.

The building opens daily except for major holidays, with visiting hours from 11:00 to 13:30 and 16:30 to 18:30, offering free admission to all visitors.

The palace stables contain painted optical illusions that replicate windows, created to maintain visual symmetry during structural modifications of the building.
