A Ducal palace overlooking the town of Lerma

This Parador was built in successive phases between 1601 and 1617, on the site of a 15th century castle, according to the plans of architect Francisco de Mora. Parador de Lerma

The castle was originally built as a place of lodging, rest and general enjoyment for King Felipe III by Francisco Gomez de Sandoval y Rojas, the first Duke of Lerma.

The building has a central courtyard surrounded by two columned arcades. The first has 20 Tuscan columns with semi-circular arches while the second has 20 Ionic columns.

The palace has been restored and converted into a Parador for 133 guests.

The Parador's cuisine is centred on typical regional products such as suckling lamb, quail and partridge.

There is  hare during hunting season while other typical fare includes the traditional cocido (chickpea stew) of Castile, the hearty 'olla podrida' stew and medieval style lentils.
