Palacio de los Golfines de Arriba

The Palace of the Golfines de Arriba is a mediaeval structure located in Cáceres' monumental complex.

It was built in the 14th and 15th centuries by the couple Isabel de la Cerda and Garca de Golfn (lords of the Corchada House), who envisioned it as a strong house. Only three of the four original towers that were built on its corners remain, and the family coats of arms and coats of arms can still be seen on them. The keep, built in 1513, was saved from demolition, along with the rest of the towers built at the time in Cáceres, thanks to a Royal Order granted in 1506 by Ferdinand V the Catholic.

The building is currently owned by private owners who keep it in excellent condition and use its rooms for hotel and restaurant activities. The structure has a surface area of more than 4,000 m2, and its beautiful interior, which has a large number of rooms, should be highlighted.

The palace became a part of recent Spanish history when General Francisco Franco chose it as his headquarters on August 26, 1936, where he stayed for 38 days and was proclaimed head of state of the rebel zone before his official proclamation in Burgos. Franco later relocated the headquarters to Salamanca.
