Destacados
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; background: white;>The palace was ordered to be built by order of <strong>Rodrigo Maldonado de Talavera, rector of the University</strong> and member of the Royal Council of Castile, who left proof of the power of the nobility and the<strong>rebirth of the arts in this urban building</strong> that perfectly combines <strong>medieval and Renaissance elements.</strong> Inside there is the main staircase, a <strong> polychrome wooden coffered ceiling and a patio</strong> where mixtilinear arches, Carrara marble columns and ornaments that mix the influences of <strong>Mudejar basket weaving with gargoyles stand out. and medieval coats of arms</strong>. In the center is the well that supplied drinking water to the family that lived there. On the outside, the tower and the <strong>main façade</strong> stand out, decorated with the <strong>more than three hundred shells</strong> from which it takes its name, in addition to <strong>noble shields</strong> strong> like that of the Maldonado, the <strong>bars and balconies</strong> and ornamentations of animals and plant motifs. There are many legends that revolve around the decoration of these scallops, but the most famous tells that the family that owned the building hid his jewelry under one of them without indicating which of them they are in.</span></p>
