Ducal Palace of Pastrana →
Nestled in the heart of the ducal town of Pastrana, in Guadalajara, stands the majestic Ducal Palace, one of the most stunning jewels of the Spanish Renaissance. Designed in the 16th century by the renowned architect Alonso de Covarrubias, this monumental building features an austere Mannerist facade and breathtaking carved wooden coffered ceilings. However, its enduring fame is inextricably linked to the fascinating and tragic figure of Ana de Mendoza, the famous Princess of Eboli. Imprisoned within its walls by order of King Philip II, the aristocrat turned its balconies into legend, bestowing upon the palace an unforgettable aura of mystery, court intrigue, refined art, and historical drama.
