6. 15th Century House

Misnamed ‘Casa de Juan Bravo’ (House of Juan Bravo) 

This beautiful example of an urban noble residence used to be the palace of the Tordesillas family. It has a granite façade, with a doorway that has a large frame decorated with granite blocks carved into pyramid-shaped reliefs and a plateresque gallery built in the 16th century. 

Legend has it that this house belonged to the Comunero Juan Bravo. However, this is impossible to prove because the order of Charles V to ‘remove, break and chip all the emblems, coats of arms and stamps’ from the Comuneros and their supporters means that any evidence the house belonging to him has been destroyed. The order would particularly apply to the house of a leader of a rebel movement.
