About

In 1991 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, with the category of Monument.

Its origins are to be found in the old ancestral homes of the Guzmán and Santoyo families and those of the Beltrán family, which occupy adjacent positions.

Work must have begun in the early 1940s.

Shortly afterwards, two renowned stonemasons in the Trasmiera region, Francisco de la Fonfrida and Pedro de la Torre, took charge of erecting, in front of the building that D. Cristóbal had built, a body topped with two towers, also extending the vaulted basement of the same.

The palace continued to form part of the family possessions of the Guzmán Santoyo family until the beginning of the 18th century, when the first-born branch died out in Dª Manuela María Jesús de Guzmán Santoyo, who married the heir of another prominent riverside lineage, D. José Antonio Jalón Gallo Curiel de la Torre y Salinas.

In 1902, Valentín Gómez Jalón sold his share to the Town Hall to be used as the Town Hall and teachers’ house. From that moment on, the appropriate interventions were made to adapt the residence to its new functions. This situation remained until the last decades of the 20th century.

The situation began to change when it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Firstly, the state of the roof was taken care of and then the building was completely refurbished. Given the magnitude of the building, in relation to the needs of the town, it was decided to give it a diversified character, combining the administrative and medical care functions with the dedication of a large part of the building to tourist uses.
