Medieval origins and Renaissance construction of the Palacio de Campo Real,

The Palacio de Campo Real, also known as the Palacio de Benavente, is a historic Renaissance palace situated in the heart of Jerez de la Frontera's old town, in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain. Originally granted by King Alfonso X the Wise to a knight within his family following the Christian conquest of the city in 1264, the site served as the foundation amid the repopulation efforts after the Reconquista. This land grant was King Alfonso X the Wise's strategy to reward loyal supporters and secure the newly reclaimed territory in Andalusia.

In 1545, during the Renaissance period, the palace was commissioned and constructed on the ruins of a pre-existing Islamic structure from the medieval era by Pedro Benavente Cabeza de Vaca y Carvajal, a prominent noble who combined lineages through strategic family intermarriages, including those between the influential Benavente and Cabeza de Vaca families.
