Palace of the Nieto de Silva family or of the Count of Alba de Yeltes · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

Located in the Plaza del Conde, the current building dates from the early eighteenth century, although there was an earlier Renaissance building owned by the Nieto Silva family. After housing a barracks, in 1945 it was acquired by the Caja de Ahorros de Salamanca and completely restored by Joaquín Secall. This intervention entailed major alterations to the palace, introducing triangular pediments, Renaissance-style reliefs on the windowsills and grilles. He also created the terraced body facing Madrid Street, where the main doorway is located, recreating the old main door of the palace. The coats of arms over the main door correspond to those of the Count and his wife: Nieto, Silva, Pacheco and Guzmán.
