Montarco Palace
Ciudad Rodrigo
POI

It is unknown who was the promoter of this palace dating from the late fifteenth century. Originally flanked by two towers, its façade stands out for its Renaissance conception in which the elements are arranged geometrically, following the line of the first Renaissance palaces in Spain. To this style belong the windows, reminiscent of those of the Casa de las Conchas in Salamanca, and the angels holding the coat of arms over the door. The door, in Gothic style, is formed by a segmental arch with large voussoirs and framed by moldings. It is flanked by two large torsal columns topped by the figures of two lions. It was the barracks of General Herrasti during the War of Independence.
