Palace of the Marquis of Villena and the House of the Savages

Cadalso is a beautiful town that combines diverse rustic facades with historiated lintels and coats of arms, recalling a glorious past that today remains silent in the tranquility of its streets. From those times, we have the palace of the Marquis of Villena, a beautiful Renaissance building from the 16th century; but the best part is its gardens and the building’s pond. The pond, in addition to watering the old orchards to its left, served a recreational purpose, which is why it is surrounded by elegant stone gazebos and bandstands carved from the local quarries. Other places of interest are the ancestral homes scattered throughout San Antón and Real streets, adorned with lintels, jambs, frames, and friezes. The House of the Habsburgs is a building that stands out for its ashlar portal and heraldic shield whose iconography is an allegory to the «homo silvestris,» the wild man, which is why it is known in the town as the House of the Savages.
