This palace is on one side of the courtyard of the ancient fortress Monterrei Castle, about 3 km from Verin. It was built in the late sixteenth century or early seventeenth century, in Renaissance style, with two heights. It has two outstanding elements in its facade: On the one hand, the porch preceding the entrance, formed by arches supported on columns, which have a different shield each. On the other hand, this gallery of columns is based on the "Tower of the Ladies", a tower of the XVI century circular belonging to one of the three walled enclosure systems that have this strength. The palace is the only building that has been recently renovated to house inside a small Museum of Sacred Art. You can visit from Wednesday to Sunday from 10.30 to 13.30 and from 17 to 20h. Is free.
