The palace that defended the eastern gate of Avila

The Palacio de Don Diego del Águila, known as the Palace Sofraga, is a sixteenth-century palace built adjacent to the medieval walls of the Spanish city of Ávila. It was once the home of Diego del Águila, who was responsible for defending the eastern gate of the city and the whole eastern wall up to the Torreón de la Mula. Diego del Águila was the first of the Águila family. In 1551, the Clarisse nuns rented the palace while they were waiting for the construction of the Convento de las Gordillas to be completed.
