On this guided tour of Palacio de Velarde, we will explore this 15th-century Renaissance building through impressive sets, holograms, and projections.

Description

At the designated time, we will meet at the entrance of Palacio de Velarde in Santillana del Mar to start the guided tour. We will begin with details about its construction.

Next, we will proceed to the second floor to visit a great hall inhabited by the ghosts of notable figures from the Palacio de Velarde, including Pedro Velarde, Ricardo León, and Trinidad Von Sholt Hermensdorff.

Following this, we will ascend to the third floor to learn about Renaissance architecture, the lineage of the Velarde family, and the coats of arms displayed in the palace over time.
