One of the first works of the Spanish Renaissance. It was sold at the beginning of the 20th century and is on display in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It was commissioned by the 1st Marquis of Vélez and executed between 1506 and 1515. Its author is unknown. But the design is clearly Italianate. While the exterior of the fortress is severe, the interior was a rich palazzo in Renaissance fashion. An example of the despoilment of Spanish heritage
