Palacio Testamentario

The Palacio Testamentario is a historic monument and museum in Medina del Campo. Originally built in the 14th century, the palace was a witness to many important historical events as Medina del Campo became a center of commerce and finance in the late 15th century. Queen Isabel la Católica died in this palace in 1504. The first records of the palace date back to 1335, and it saw numerous visits from the Trastamara kings in the following decades. At the end of the 15th century, Fernando de Aragón promoted an important transformation of the palace.

The main facade of the building was constructed in 1603 and 1673, and a large balcony was installed for the Cabildo Mayor. The current building is a didactic recreation that houses the interpretation center for the historical figure of Queen Isabel la Católica. Visitors can learn about her era, with special attention given to the queen's will and codicil.
