Embark on the Exploring Palencia's Historic Heart

Hidden beneath Palencia’s tranquil façades lie secrets whispered by marble halls and ancient cloisters. This self-guided audio tour leads you through the city’s heart, unlocking stories behind locked doors and echoing footsteps that most travelers never hear.

Who plotted a dangerous political upheaval from the shadowed rooms of the Palacio de la Diputación? Why did the walls of the Monasterio de Santa Clara once guard a secret so mysterious it divided a community? Which scholarly dispute at Institución Tello Téllez de Meneses ended in an oddly public scandal involving forbidden books?

Wander through cobblestone streets and beneath soaring arches as time bends, rivalries ignite and Palencia reveals itself layer by layer. Feel the thrill of stepping where intrigue unfolded, rebellions simmered and destinies collided under quiet stone ceilings.

Press play and let the city’s hidden history transform your journey—there is more waiting in Palencia than meets the eye.
