The Casa de los Arenzana in Valladolid

The Casa de los Arenzana is a restored historic palace in Valladolid. Dating back to at least the 16th century, the building is also known as the Casa de los Fernández de Muras. Its entrance is located near the Palacio del Marqués de Valverde, the church of San Miguel and San Julián, and the Palacio de Fabio Nelli. During the 16th century, this area contained the city's principal mansions and palaces, a setting depicted in the novel El hereje by Miguel Delibes.

In the middle of the 18th century, the property belonged to the family of Fuentenueva de Arenzana, though the original owner is unknown. Based on the construction style, the facade and courtyard date to the second half of the 16th century. The building was declared a Monument in 1997 and currently maintains its use as a residence.

The palace retains three traditional palatial elements: the zaguán, the patio, and the claustral staircase. It is notable for the construction quality of its ashlar facade, which features large openings on the noble floor and the windows of the 'paseador' on the upper floor.
