VELADA PALACE
This palace located in the Cathedral square has now been renovated and converted into a hotel. Of particular note is its watch-tower with bevelled coats of arms, its spacious arcaded courtyard and the Gothic doorway.


BRACAMONTE PALACE
This house, dating back to 1510, pertained to Alvaro Dávila, the marshal of Castile. It has two towers which go up one floor, and a courtyard formed by four arcaded galleries, which is one of the largest courtyards in the city. Today it is used by the Regional Government of Castile & Leon Department of Culture.


DÁVILA PALACE
The palace was built between the 13th century and the 16th. For this reason, a juxtaposition of styles can be noticed in its design. The oldest part seems to be the gate of the Rastro, or street market. The palace is attached to the fortified wall.


BENAVIDES PALACE
This building is also known as the palace of Don Juan de Henao. It was built using small ashlar masonry and granite, back in the 16th century. The most striking feature of its exterior is a crenellated barbican. It is decorated with numerous coats of arms. Current site of a National Tourist Parador.


ALMARZA PALACE
Almarza Palace or Vázquez Rengifo Palace was built in the same Renaissance style which characterised the 16th century. The building is today a covent habited for “Siervas de Jesús”.
