This building, known today as the PALACIO DEL MARQUÉS, was finished in 1455 after taking 32 years to build, making it one the oldest building in Lanzarote. It was the head quarters of the Canarian government for 270 years as well as serving other purposes. Today the wonderful PALACIO, it’s colorful courtyards, private rooms and secret passage ways, has become a Mecca for wine experts as well as those interested in history.
A reminder of the past history of the house is the lover letter chiselled out of the magma stone in a room by MACIOT DE BETHENCOURT and dedicated to the Princess of TEGUISE, the daughter of the last Guanche king. There is a secret meeting hall underneath the PALACIO (old craftsmen, who helped to renovate spoke about it very excited because they played in the hall when they were children). The inhabitants would flee into this underground room when pirates attacked in order to reach safety in the Castillo Santa Barbara by means of a tunnel.
The delicious tapas in the form of fresh island specialities, herbs and spices from their own garden, as well as the wine, make time spent here in this historical building, surrounded by a sea of flowers, an unforgettable experience.
