The history of the Infantado palace, of the Dukes of Infantado, the main house of the Mendoza family, can be summarized in four acts: its construction, begun in 1480 and completed at the end of the 15th century, under the direction of Juan Guas; its reform, by the fifth Duke of Infantado, between 1570 and 1580, which introduced Renaissance elements; its ruin, due to a fire in 1936, and, finally, its restoration in the sixties, slow and debatable. Even today, transformed and mutilated, it is a magnificent and surprising building.
