Espinosa de Henares, Spain, Spain

---

Palacio de Espinosa de Henares in Espinosa de Henares, Guadalajara province, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, stands as a 16th-century Renaissance palace-fortress blending noble residence with defensive features.

Commissioned by the powerful Mendoza family amid their regional dominance, it features ashlar stone facades, robust corner towers adapted for artillery, elegant Plateresque windows, and a central courtyard reflecting Isabelline architectural transitions from Gothic to Renaissance influences.

 Passed through ducal lines like Infantado before partial ruin and modern restoration, it preserves coats of arms and panoramic Tajuña valley views as a cultural landmark tied to Spain's golden age nobility.
