Palacio de Los Velarde in Santillana del Mar - Carriage

A look around Santillana de Mar in Cantabria, Spain. Was raining on and off that morning.

At one point we almost went to the Palacio de Los Velarde. At Plaza las Arenas.

Medieval World. It is a paid for attraction, instead we went to the Torture Museum of the Inquisition which was a bit cheaper.

The Velarde Palace , also called the Palace of Las Arenas ,is a building located in the Plaza de las Arenas in Santillana del Mar ( Cantabria , Spain ). It was completed in the mid- 16th century for Alonso de Velarde and is currently used as a museum.

Its architecture is from the early Renaissance . It has rhythmic windows and a crown of pinnacles. The main hall is decorated with a plinth decorated with Plateresque motifs .

It was built in the 16th century by Alonso Velarde, scion of a powerful local lineage. He was the younger brother of Rodrigo Fernández Velarde, who built the house of the Canton in the same town, and the son of another Rodrigo or Ruy Fernández Velarde and of María Fernández de Villa, patrons of the chapel of San Juan de la Colegiata , who made a will in 1528. The palace was inherited by the Velarde lineage and continued in their descendants until the beginning of the 20th century . The last hereditary owner was María García de la Llata, who sold it to the writer Ricardo León in 1915. It was later bought by Fernando de la Cerda, Duke of Parcent , who undertook a vast rehabilitation. The Duke died childless and the palace was inherited by his widow, Trinidad von Scholtz Hermensdorff , a notable art patron and collector. The Duchess left as heir her daughter from a previous marriage: María de la Piedad de Yturbe , Marchioness of Belvís de las Navas , and from her the palace was inherited by her son Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe , who died in 2003. In 2008 it was put up for sale by the famous doctor from Yale University , Francisco Guerra.
