There are numerous legends about the Palace of Ambite and its thousand-year-old and gigantic holm oak: one of them is the one that tells us that a young and beautiful princess lived captive in the Palace, who, while waiting for a knight to save her from captivity, left tears fall on an acorn, which germinated on earth, giving rise to the great oak.
