In Almagro’s historic noble quarter – a town declared an Artistic and Historical Heritage Site and celebrated worldwide for its Classical Theatre Festival – stands the Fúcares Palace, commissioned in 1539 by Germany’s illustrious Függer bankers, financiers to the Spanish Crown. This 16th-century palace rises as one of Almagro’s most emblematic landmarks. Its grand Renaissance stone-carved entrance, attributed to Juan de Juren, is regarded by historians as one of the finest examples of its kind in all of Castilla-La Mancha.

The Fúcares Palace, built in 1539, stands as one of the great heritage treasures of Castilla-La Mancha. Extending to 1,459 sqm, the property centres around a magnificent, arcaded Renaissance courtyard and preserves remarkable original features – coffered ceilings, fireplaces and the celebrated stone-carved entrance by Juan de Juren. Its setting in the historic heart of Almagro – the stage of the International Classical Theatre Festival – opens infinite possibilities for residential, cultural and hospitality use.

With 1,459 sqm of built accommodation set on a plot of more than 1,000 sqm, the property unfolds though generous outward-facing rooms and reception areas, and is distinguished by timber-coffered ceilings, historic fireplaces and living quarters that overlook the central courtyard. At its heart lies a 150 sqm arcaded courtyard, featuring stone columns carved with the Fúcares family coats of arms. Meanwhile, a second rear courtyard garden, with independent carriage access, offers a versatile 250 sqm open-air space – ideal for housing a pool or al fresco dining area. The property also includes a former granary extending 200 sqm, a cellar, wine store and various service quarters.

Thanks to its remarkable state of preservation, architectural wealth and outstanding central location, the Palace opens the door to a whole host of possibilities – from an elegant boutique hotel to an institutional, cultural or corporate space, while also offering exceptional potential as a truly singular private residence. All this, less than fifty minutes from Madrid by high-speed train, with excellent links to Ciudad Real and to the most-loved landmarks of La Mancha.

A place where the splendour of the Renaissance converges with the possibilities of the present.
