The Royal Palace of Valladolid served as the temporary residence for Spanish monarchs from Charles I to Isabella II, and was also a temporary residence for Napoleon during the Peninsular War. Currently, it serves as the headquarters of the 4th General Sub-inspection of the Spanish Army.
Originally built for Francisco de los Cobos y Molina, the palace was based on a 1524 project by royal architect Luis de Vega. Charles V later ordered its extension, resulting in a building of several courtyards, a chapel, and numerous state rooms.
Significant renovations were made at the beginning of the 20th century, with numerous structural changes being made to its original design. Since 1999, the building has been recognized as a heritage site.
