What to see in Municipality Allande

Location: municipality Allande »

The Palace of Cienfuegos de Peñalba is located spectacular on a hill next to Pola de Allande hamlet (north-east of Alande). The building dating back to XV-th century. It has an L-shaped ground plan, over which three solid non-battlemented towers stand lending the structure a certain monumental character.

The two oldest towers have a square ground plan, while the newest has a rectangular one and overlooks the town. Given that this tower was the most suited to function as living quarters, a gallery was added in the 19th century.
