One building, many names 

This building, whose name varies depending on the sources of information that you refer to (Palace of Cascales, Aspiroz or of the Count of Alpuente), was built in the last third of the 15th century by Alonso Cascales, a powerful Segovian knight. 

On the outside, some splendid Gothic-Flemish slate windows immediately catch the eye (two of those windows, on the right, were added in the early years of the 20th century). The lintelled doorway, which replaced the previous entrance made of brick and forming a fine horseshoe arch, shows how the palace was built over a Moorish-type building. 

Behind the cornered entrance hall is a small space that is made even narrower by the enormous height of the supports that form three arcaded sides. There are seven granite columns whose peculiarity is that the two that form an angle have the Cascales coat of arms on their octagonal capitals, their shafts being thicker than the rest. 

Nowadays, the courtyard is covered by an artistic stained glass window signed by Carlos Muñoz de Pablos and it still contains the old stone well. It is the headquarters of the Servicio Territorial de Movilidad y Transformación Digital de la Junta de Castilla y León (Territorial Service of Mobility and Digital Transformation of the Regional Council of Castile and Leon).
