Located in the city of León, the Palacio de los Guzmanes serves as the seat of the Provincial Government of León. It is a Renaissance building constructed in the 16th century by the architect Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón. The palace was commissioned by the aristocratic House of Guzmán, which was one of the most powerful and influential families in the city.
The palace is three stories high and features square towers at each of its four corners. It is arranged around a two-story courtyard, and its façade is distinguished by a gallery of round arches on the top floor.
Standing in the Plaza de Santo Domingo, the palace is situated right next to la casa de botines. It is considered one of the prize possessions of El Casco Viejo (antiguo) of León.
