The Palacio de los Fernández-Villa is a palace that began construction in the mid-16th century. It is attached to a previous house-fortress. The building complex is organized around two large towers and an inflection in the central part.

The most notable element for the care of the forms is the western cube, attached to the older construction. It opens to the interior a lintel-headed doorway, flanked by fluted columns, set on a raised podium and topped with a capital, which supports the entablament.

Two brackets with the shape of molded bases support the lintel, in the center of which the family shield is located. The building was included in the BOCYL n.º 56 on March 21, 2000.
