Manor Houses

Period: Siglos XVII-XIX

Walking through Herencia's streets you'll discover magnificent manor houses from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, with stone façades, grand entrance gates, inner courtyards, and wrought-iron balconies. These noble homes reflect the prosperity the town enjoyed through farming and livestock, and bear witness to an aristocratic past that Cervantes himself could have depicted. Strolling along streets like Mesones, Carrasco Alcalde, or Matallana is a journey back in time to the heart of La Mancha.
