As time was moving towards the 2pm close, we only saw the main building and atrium. This is definitely one of the most beautiful and intact ornate palace structures in Spain. The detail is amazing, and I wish we had had longer to explore....we'll be back!

The Palacio de la Cotilla is a wonderful sight to see when you are in Guadalajara. It has many miniatures inside of buildings and places that are/used to be in Guadalajara. The salón chino and all the paintings are a sight to see!

В начале XVI века, на месте синаноги семья Мендоса, правившая этими местами, построила себе дворец, заказав оформление знаменитому Алонсо де Коваррубиас. И надо сказать, он надежды оправдал: внутренний дворик в стиле платереско - просто чудо.
Позже, одна из членов семьи купила соседние здания, превратив дворец в монастырь - странное решение. А позже, когда Мендосы переехали в Мадрид, здесь по очереди были музей, тюрьма, муниципальное здание. А теперь здесб лицей, на стенах висят портреты выпускников.
Вход в здание бесплатный, так что потратьте полчаса - не пожалеете.

The Chapel of La Epistola was founded by Diego Garcia de Guadalajara and has a Gothic design. The Chapel of El Evangelio has a Plateresque design and was done by Alonso de Covarrubias at the beginning of the 16th century.

The small, privately-funded chapel is the only remnant of a demolished church to which it used to be attached. The ticket lady showed us round and with her communicative-level English more than made up for the lack of any English-language printed material, making our visit really meaningful. A well-done job, performed with a dazzling smile - thank you!

The Church of San Gines is located at the Plaza del Santo Domingo. It was once part of the Convent of Santo Domingo de la Cruz, which no longer exists, and is located in the Plaza de Santo Domingo. The church construction started in 1561, but stopped in 1566, so the building is only half of that planned. The facade is made of stone and has two large buttresses that have a belfry on top of each of these. The central rose window has the coat of arms of the Dominican Order on top of it. There is one nave that has side chapels, that have tomb sculpture. The sculptures of Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza and his wife Juana de Valencia are shown in prayer on each side of the presbytery. They were the founders of the convent. The transept chapels hold the tombs of the Counts of Tendilla, Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza and Elvira de Quiñones, and these date from the 15th century. Close to the church is the monument dedicated to the Count of Romanones that the sculptor Miguel Blay created in 1913.
