INFORMATION


Throught the entrance gate we arrive to the first patio where we admire its Renaissance portal, the royal balcony and the noble coat of arms that culminates the façade. Next we enter the palace itself through a hallway, where we admire two monumental ceramic jars embedded in the ground and with the signatures or anagrams of the artisans who made them. We pass to the central square patio with Doric-style Sierra Elvira marble columns and Albuñuelas pine wooden footings that support the beams and coffered ceilings of the upper corridor. From here we can go up the royal Mudejar-style staircase decorated with small and old tiles made by hand and embedded between the tiles. On the upper floor we can see some magnificent carved cabinets as well as some very beautiful collection fans. The current distribution is as follows: on the ground floor, offices and social room for the elderly; and in the upper one, plenary hall, mayor's office and councilors' offices. In the center of the patio we have a Granada-style fountain that gives great musicality to this space.
 
From this courtyard we go to the French-style garden, where its magnificent borders of boxwoods, the formidable magnolia trees, as well as the ancient specimens of false acacias, conifers and centenary Jupiters, irrigated by the water of its elegant fountains are to be admired... There is a good specimen of strawberry tree, as well as the hundred-year-old holm oak from the adjoining orchard.
