The Palacio del Mayorazgo is a historic manor located in Inguanzo, Cabrales, Asturias, Spain. Built during the 17th and 18th centuries, the structure is a two-story building with a compact rectangular floor plan. Notably, the palace lacks an interior patio.

The front façade of the building features two arrowslits that flank the main door. This entrance is surrounded by molding and is topped by a stone decorated with carvings. Directly above the door, a large decorative shield serves as a prominent architectural feature.
