Spain has many palaces which were built many centuries ago. Perhaps Spain is the only country in entire Europe to have so many palaces of historical importance. Let us just visit some of the palaces.
Palace de los Reyes:
This palace is called Palacio de los Reyes do Navarra in Spanish language. The other name by which it is called is Palacio de los Deques de Granada de Ega. This is one of the most important buildings of historical importance. The palace is located in the city of Estella, Spain. The building built in Romanesque architecture was the place where the king and other royal family of Navarre lived. According to historians, the royal family lived in the palace from 12th century to 15th century. It would also mean that the palace was built in the 12th century. Because of the age of the building, a part of the palace had caved in and it was rebuilt in the year 1991. This rectangular shaped building was extended with additional floors during the 16th century. The tower of the palace has three floors. Although some portion of the walls has lost its charm due to the age of the building, some other portions are preserved using some of the modern technologies. Apart from this, the palace is a huge structure and the exterior of the palace presents an impeccable beauty. A portion of the palace was being used by the kings as a prison. Now the palace is being used as a building for the local municipality to function.
Valladolid Royal Palace:
This palace located in the city of Valladolid, Spain is another huge building which is believed to have been built by the Duke of Lema. It is said that the construction of the palace started in the year 1534 and was completed in the year 1600. Interestingly, the Duke of Lema sold the palace to Spanish king, King Phillip III. It was actually King Phillip III who converted the entire place into a Royal Palace. This beautiful structure has been luxuriously decorated with most precious works of sculpture and other artifacts. The walls are decorated and the entire palace resembles heaven. Many parts of the palace were rebuilt because it was one the oldest buildings of the Lema. The palace has a beautiful Royal garden. The palace is most ideally located in the heart of the city. Normally no visitor misses the palaces in Spain and more so the Valladolid Royal Palace.
