González Palma Manor House
The González Palma family home is an 18th-century manor house organised around a beautiful central courtyard with a portico supported by Tuscan columns. Notable features include a tower situated above the entrance and a linteled doorway with a main balcony, flanked by two coats of arms dating the building to 1771.
The ground floor features an entrance hall and a stately Cordoban-style courtyard. There is also a room known as ‘Don Manuel’s Study’ and the ‘ante-study’, a small wine cellar and a second courtyard.
On the first floor, a loggia with two semicircular arches stands out on the exterior, whilst inside there is an ‘antechamber’ and a ‘prayer room’.
The two Baroque-style coats of arms, classified as BIC (Heritage of Cultural Interest), represent the lineage of the Cerrato Tamariz family, although the building itself may have been constructed earlier and subsequently modified.
It was purchased by Mr Manuel González Aguilar on 23 December 1939 from Mrs María Artacho Martínez, who in turn had bought it from Mr Félix Aznar Cabrera in 1934.
