The fortified house of Melgar de Yuso is a historic building located in the town of Melgar de Yuso, in the province of Palencia, Castile and León. This building dates back to the 14th century and originally belonged to the Order of Santiago.
The façade of the palace, which is now a private residence, is notable for its entrance defended by a machicolation supported by four corbels and flanked by two turrets. Small heraldic shields adorn both sides of the doorway.

The Casa Fuerte dates from the 14th century. Its two towers flank a large burglar's lair, with a loophole in the center, protecting the entrance. Two heraldic shields appear on either side of the door. The complex is built of ashlar. It is currently in good condition and is used as a private residence.

The Casa Fuerte dates from the 14th century. It is likely the fortress built around 1471 by Tristán de Aza, which the Chancellery of the Kings of Castile ordered his son Álvaro de Aza to demolish in 1493.
