Header image

This is the palace of Marquis and Marquise of Quintanar. Built during the 15th and 16th centuries. An interesting collection of arches and helmets on the entrance door. A traditional Segovia courtyard with blazoned columns. An imperial-style staircase leads to the upper rooms. Canopies and ceilings decorated with painted paper from the 18th century. In 1949 the building became a teacher training school and was later the official Music School. In the summer the building hosts young students of painting on a scholarship. It is now a multidiscipline cultural centre for design.
