Palacio de Monroy, Medieval palace in Plasencia, Spain
The Monroy Palace features a Gothic entrance adorned with lion reliefs, a remaining square tower, and large neo-Gothic windows across its stone facade.
Built in the 14th century for the influential Monroy family, the palace passed to the Carvajal family in the 15th century after the Casa de Zuniga gained control.
Maria Rodriguez de Monroy, known as La Brava, was born in this residence and later became a central figure in medieval Salamanca history.
The palace stands at Plaza de San Nicolas 1 in Plasencia's city center, just one minute away from Plaza Mayor.
The palace's southern tower collapsed during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, leading to its demolition, while evidence of its existence remains in a glass photo.
