Velarde Palace (Plaza de las Arenas)

Highlight • Historical Site

It is located in the historic center of the town of Santillana del Mar. The palace was completed in the mid-16th century for Alonso de Velarde. Its architecture is from the early Renaissance. In July 2018, the news broke that the building had been bought by a Mexican businessman who will invest in its recovery to turn the palace into a hotel.

Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana (Colegiata de Santa Juliana)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cloister is located on the north façade of the complex and its capitals show the main decorative elements used at the time, floral, geometric and figurative. Arches on double columns predominate, although there are also four-column pillars, which act as theme separators. Among the subjects represented are scenes from the Old and New Testaments.

Santillana del Mar

Highlight • Settlement

The centuries-old core of the old town with its numerous small palaces and trading houses is ideal for a short sightseeing tour. It is particularly relaxed that no cars are allowed in the entire old town.
