PALACE OF FRANCISCO DE GODOY

PALACIO FRANCISCO DE GODOY
Civil architecture

This palace, which occupies a lot in the Plaza de Santiago, has a magnificent corner balcony made by Pedro de Marquina 

This palace, which occupies a lot in the Plaza de Santiago, has a magnificent corner balcony made by Pedro de Marquina in 1563. On the sides of the balcony, there are compound-capital columns. There  is also a pediment with decorative bust, and on the pediment are the crests of Godoy and Aldana, crowned by a helmet.

The interior of the palace is articulated around a central courtyard, functioning to distribute the spaces. The ground floor was usually dedicated to services such as stables, kitchen, or chapel, while the upper floor was for the noble use of the house, such as living rooms or bedrooms.

Francisco de Godoy was at the orders of Francisco Pizarro during the conquest of Cuzco, the capital  of the Inca Empire. He later became Governor of Ciudad de Los Reyes. On his return to Spain, he married Leonor de Ulloa and ordered the construction of this palace, although he never saw the final result as he died before it was finished.

Recommendations: It is located outside the walls of the Historic Centre, along with the Church of Santiago, one of the most charming squares in the city.
