The Palace of the Marqués de Santa Cruz in Viso del Marqués, Ciudad Real, is a historic Renaissance-style building built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz de Mudela. Currently, this palace houses the General Archive of the Navy.
Located next to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, the palace was one of two built by the sailor Álvaro de Bazán. Throughout its history, it has served as a museum, archive and residence. Despite the damage suffered over the centuries, today we can admire its splendor. Furthermore, in the nearby parish church, there is a curious 4-meter-long stuffed crocodile, offered by the marquis as a votive offering after one of his trips. 🏰🐊
