Palace of Cienfuegos de Peñalba

The palace displays an L-shaped layout with three defensive towers, two square and one rectangular, surrounding a central courtyard with masonry columns.

Originally constructed in the 14th century, the palace underwent major renovations in 1520 under Rodrigo González de Cienfuegos, lord of Allande.

The structure incorporates Gothic elements in its lowest level, while the upper floors showcase Renaissance architectural features from various renovation periods.

Located on a hill near the Camino Primitivo pilgrimage route, the palace contains 23 bedrooms, a hall, kitchen, living room, lounge, and oratory.

The wooden gallery added in the 19th century represents traditional Asturian architectural elements, restored to its 1888 design specifications in 2008.
