EPISCOPAL PALACE

PALACIO EPISCOPAL
Religious architecture
This elegant palace is located in the Plaza de Santa María, opposite the Co-Cathedral
This elegant palace is located in the Plaza de Santa María, opposite the Co-Cathedral. It was ordered to be rebuilt at the end of the sixteenth Century by Bishop Pedro García de Galarza, whose crest can be seen over the central window of the second floor. The main portal stands out, from 1587, in a semi- circular arch with double ashlar masonry, flanked by two medallions that represent a Native American man and woman. It has two more portals, one from the old seminary of San Pedro, founded in the sixteenth century by the same Bishop Galarza, who moved here after its demolition, and another, the later one, is on the street of Arco de la Estrella, in the Renaissance style. The second is very similar to the main one, although here, instead of Native Americans, two allegories of justice and fortitude are depicted. The location of this beautiful construction, with the back end made up of a chemin de ronde and the New Portal, began lawsuits with the Marquis de la Quinta de la Enjarada for opening up and remodelling the Arco de la Estrella street, to make room for carriages. In 1583, King Philip II stayed in this palace when he returned to Spain after being crowned as King of Portugal. Recommendations: The best view of the back façade of the Palace is from the wall
