What to see in Viso del Marqués
Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz
Built between 1564 and 1588 in the Italianate Renaissance style.
It houses the Álvaro de Bazán General Archive of the Navy, a peculiar example given its location so far from the sea.
The interior is decorated with Mannerist frescoes covering approximately 8,000 m² depicting mythological scenes.
A National Monument since 1931.
Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
Late Gothic style with Renaissance touches.
Interesting fact: its central nave is off-center because it was built on top of a previous church.

In addition to the Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz, a Renaissance gem built between 1564 and 1586 by the Spanish navigator Álvaro de Bazán, Viso del Marqués boasts other points of interest:
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption: This Gothic-Renaissance church features a nave that is off-center with respect to the presbytery, built upon the remains of an earlier church. On its walls, you'll find the curious "Viso Lizard," a stuffed crocodile brought back from the Nile by the Marquis during one of his expeditions.
