Palace of the Pimentel

On the side façade that looks out towards the church of San Pablo there is a succession of large windows with bars. One of them evidences the breakage of the grille with the false addition of a symbolic chain. Tradition says that it was through this window that the newborn Prince Philip came out to be baptized in the church of San Pablo, the usual temple for royal celebrations. If he did it through the main door, the parish jurisdiction of the time would have forced him to baptize him in a different parish.

Inside there are two notable coffered ceilings, one from the Colegio de San Gregorio, from the end of the 15th century, and the other also Mudejar, from the parish of Villafuerte de Esgueva. The most outstanding feature of its exterior is the plateresque window located in the corner.

In the hallway, there is a collection of Talavera tiles made in 1939, which narrates in 12 scenes significant moments in the history of the city, including the baptism of Prince Philip and the “Autos de Fe” of the Inquisition, in 1559, of the witnessed by Saint Francisco de Borja, in the first as the queen's chief stableman and in the second as a Jesuit.
