You'll find this palace on the corner of Plaza de los Bandos, close to the Plaza Mayor . Maria of Portugal stayed here when she came to Spain in the 16th century to marry Felipe II. The state telecommunications company, Telefónica, had the palace re-designed in a neo-plateresque style in 1934 with turrets like those on the Palacio de Monterrey , and use it as office space. The window looking over Calle Concejo is one of the few remaining features of the old palace. The main façade carries the coats-of-arms belonging to the Solís family. It is not opened to the public.
