Information
This 17th century palace, which the Duke of Lerma had built on top of a medieval castle, was the envy of the court. A royal wedding was held here: a queen gave birth, and Napoleon Bonaparte slept here. Besides the imposing façade, highlights include the cloister and its inner courtyard, where Lope de Vega’s works were first performed 500 years ago. You can now take the chance to rest and have a coffee under its panoramic window and admire the columns and semi-circular arches.
The Parador is located in the Plaza Mayor of Lerma, which is one of the largest in Spain (almost 7,000 square meters). The town also has a major network of convents and monasteries such as the Collegiate Church of San Pedro and the Convent of San Blas.
Environment
The collegiate church is located in Plaza de Santa Clara, where the mausoleum containing the remains of the famous guerrilla fighter of the War of Independence known as “Cura Merino.” A few metres away is the Mirador de los Arcos, where you can enjoy the best panoramic views of the fertile plain of the river Arlanza. The route through the town of Lerma can’t end without visiting the Prison Arch and the Ducal Passage, which connects the Parador to the Collegiate Church of San Pedro and was built so that the Duke could attend religious worship without having to go out into the street.
You might also use your visit Lerma to see other towns filled with historical buildings in the Arlanza Valley, such as Covarrubias, Santo Domingo de Silos and Salas de los Infantes.
