What to see in Viso del Marqués

Built between 1564 and 1588 in the Italianate Renaissance style.

The interior is decorated with Mannerist frescoes covering approximately 8,000 m² depicting mythological scenes.
A National Monument since 1931.
Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Late Gothic style with Renaissance touches.
Interesting fact: its central nave is off-center because it was built on top of a previous church.

Our Lady of the Assumption

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Viso del Marqués, Ciudad Real, is a historic building dating back to at least the 15th century. This Gothic building houses a nave offset from the presbytery, built on the remains of an older church. Curiously, on its walls there is a stuffed crocodile between four and five meters in length, known as "The Lizard of Viso." A unique piece of its kind! 🐊🏰

Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palace of the Marqués de Santa Cruz in Viso del Marqués, Ciudad Real, is a historic Renaissance-style building built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz de Mudela. Currently, this palace houses the General Archive of the Navy.
Located next to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, the palace was one of two built by the sailor Álvaro de Bazán. Throughout its history, it has served as a museum, archive and residence. Despite the damage suffered over the centuries, today we can admire its splendor. Furthermore, in the nearby parish church, there is a curious 4-meter-long stuffed crocodile, offered by the marquis as a votive offering after one of his trips. 🏰🐊
