The Palacio de Vellosillo, a historic manor in Ayllón, is a post-Herrerian building. It boasts a nearly square floor plan, with stone used in the area between the two central balconies of the facade, as well as in the outlines of the openings and in the corners. Adobe was used in some internal walls. The palace was declared a bien de interés cultural on 1 March 1974.
The entrance opens to a hallway that connects to the courtyard. Four columns in the corners support the wooden gallery, which can be accessed by a stone staircase of double flight, closed in the factory box. The courtyard houses the rooms, with the ground floor having beams with bovedillas and the upper floors having wooden framework.
Today, the palace stands as a significant cultural landmark in Ayllón, maintaining a generally sober appearance with ornamentation reduced to shields and lambrequins.
