About Palacio de Las Dueñas

Palacio de Las Dueñas was built between the 15th and 16th centuries by the Pineda family. It passed to the House of Alba in 1612, when Antonia Enríquez de Ribera married the 6th Duke of Alba, and it has remained in the family ever since. The palace takes its name from the Monastery of Santa María de las Dueñas, which stood next door until it was demolished in 1868.

The building brings together Gothic-Mudéjar and Renaissance architecture. Inside, an art collection of more than 1,400 pieces includes works by Anguissola and Sorolla, while the gardens mix Renaissance and Islamic influences with plant species from around the world.
