Built in the fourteenth century as a palace fortress attached to theRoman wall by the noble Don Pedro de Suarez de Quiñones, in its splendor was the political center of the city of Leon and residence of the Marquises of the county of Luna.
It has been used for the most diverse purposes, from the seat of theCourt of the Holy Inquisition to the Bank of Spain, passing through a fruit warehouse, a cafeteria or even a funeral home to be left later in a sad state of abandonment that would not be recovered until well into the twenty-first century. Currently within its walls are housed permanent exhibitions on the Kingdom of León, as well as the headquarters of the University of Washington.
