█ The Dukes of Feria











This adventure begins at the imposing
Palace of the Dukes of Feria, a castle which today is a National Parador Hotel.
It was commissioned in 1437 by the first Count of Feria,
Lorenzo II Suárez de Figueroa, and work finished in a record time of 6 years. Although it outwardly appears to be an unassailable fortress, it was actually planned as a stately home in the Gothic style, with Mudejar decoration. Highlights include the
imposing Keep, the
Golden Room, the
coffered ceiling of the Chapel and the views from the
battlements.
Over the main door of the fortress, we can see
two noble Coats of Arms, and in the one on the right we can see some ferocious animals. Write the name of these
animals to continue the adventure.
