Palacio de Monterrey

Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any photographs inside the Palace so those images have been taken from their website

The Palacio de Monterrey is a building of the Spanish city ​​of Salamanca, one of the greatest exponents of the Plateresque artistic style.

Built by the III count of Monterrey, it is currently owned by the House of Alba, which is the owner of that county. It was a building much admired and imitated in the nineteenth century, giving rise to the so-called Monterrey or Neoplateresque style, a historicism that took up the aesthetics of Plateresque

It was declared a National Historic Monument, equivalent to the current BIC term with Monument category, on May 6, 1929.

In May 2018 four extra rooms that have been refurbished become open to the publicBaca lagi
