On this guided tour of Palacio de Velarde, we'll explore this 15th-century Renaissance building with the aid of sets, holograms, and projections.

Description

We'll meet at the entrance to Palacio de Velarde to begin our guided tour in Santillana del Mar. The tour will start with details about its construction.

Next, we'll proceed to the second floor, where we will explore a great hall inhabited by the ghosts of its illustrious residents, including figures such as Pedro Velarde, Ricardo León, and Trinidad Von Sholt Hermensdorff.

Then, we will head to the third floor to discuss Renaissance architecture, the lineage of the Velarde family, and the coats of arms the palace displayed over time.

The preserved rooms include the office of Frida Kahlo's doctor, Francisco Guerra, which offers the best panoramic views of Santillana del Mar and its historic center.
