Palace of Águila

The construction of this building was ordered in the 16th century by Miguel del Águila. Built in granite masonry and ashlar work, it has an outstanding Renaissance-style front facing south with a lintelled door with corbels framed by slender columns finished off with candelabrum reliefs and coats of arms. There is a balcony above the door, also framed by the same type of columns and candelabrum reliefs. It was designated a National Monument in 1969 and is currently being restored for use as a centre of the Prado Museum in Ávila.
