Doña Sancha House · Covarrubias

This is the oldest and best preserved example of the traditional architecture of Covarrubias. Its structure includes a stone base and a wooden structure filled with whitewashed adobe on the first two floors. On the first floor was the stable, where the animals lived with the family, providing warmth to the upper floor, where they lived. The first floor, with arcades, allowed them to work in the open air, while the upper floor was used as a storehouse. It is said that this house was the home of Doña Sancha, infanta and abbess, and that a tunnel connected it to the Fernán González Tower.
