Lower Palace of the Golfines

Lower Palace of the Golfines

The palace was built by the Golfín family after the Spanish Reconquest.

 

Its façade is from the XVI Century in a Plateresque style with Gothic elements. The door is framed by a round arch and by large keystones with coats of arms on both sides.

 

Over the door there are two windows, one of them with bars and the other one with a round arch with Ionic capital. Over that window, the coat of arms of the Catholic Kings is located and under it, we can find the coat of arms of the Golfines family hold by two angels.

We should highlight two towers in this palace. One of them is very high and is located on the right façade. It has cantilevers and big windows framed by a segmental arch and also the coat of arms of the Golfines family. You can read the following inscription on it: “Esta es la casa de los Golfines” (“This house belongs to the Golfines family”). Inside, we can find the Salón de Linajes, where we can see Heraldic coats of arms and the courtyard with double arcade.

 

The Catholic Kings stayed in his palace when they visited this town.
