Palacio de los Águila

Built between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by Hernando de Güemes and his son for the Aguila family, one of the most important lineages of Ciudad Rodrigo. In its facade the different constructive phases can be seen. The door of great voussoirs, with the family shields and framed by an alfiz in whose ends, on candlesticks we see the lion and the eagle, symbols of the family. The rich window on the left is Renaissance, while the balcony is from the Baroque period. The interior hides an imposing Plateresque courtyard. The carving of the sills of the upper floor, with men, masks and winged centaurs, stands out. The east bay was built by J. Tarabella in 1910, imitating the others.
