On this guided tour of Palacio de Velarde, we will explore every aspect of this 15th-century Renaissance building using impressive sets and holograms and projections.
Description
At the designated time, we will meet at the entrance of Palacio de Velarde to commence the guided tour of this elegant structure in Santillana del Mar. We will begin with details of its construction.
Next, we will ascend to the second floor to visit a great hall where the spirits of notable past residents of the Palacio de Velarde reside. We may encounter Pedro Velarde, Ricardo León, or aristocrat Trinidad Von Sholt Hermensdorff.
Following this, we will proceed to the third floor, where we will discuss Renaissance architecture, the lineage of the Velarde family, and the coats of arms historically associated with the palace.
We will observe the remarkable preservation of the rooms, including the office of Frida Kahlo's doctor, Francisco Guerra, which offers excellent panoramic views of Santillana del Mar and the historic center of the town.
After approximately 40 minutes, we will conclude our guided tour of Palacio de Velarde.
