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

Description

We'll meet at the entrance to Palacio de Velarde at the specified time to begin the guided tour of this elegant structure in Santillana del Mar. The tour will start with details about its construction.

Next, we will visit the second floor, where a great hall is located, believed to be inhabited by the ghosts of illustrious residents of the palace, such as Pedro Velarde, Ricardo León, and the aristocrat Trinidad Von Sholt Hermensdorff.

The tour continues to the third floor, which covers topics like Renaissance architecture, the lineage of the Velarde family, and the coats of arms that the palace has displayed over time.

The well-preserved rooms include the office of Frida Kahlo's doctor, Francisco Guerra, offering the best panoramic views of Santillana del Mar and the town's historic center.
