Purchase of the counts' palace for six pesetas

Curiosity · Grajal de Campos, Esla-Campos, León

Image of Grajal de Campos, not of the place itself.

In 1998 the village bought the Renaissance palace of the counts of Grajal from its owners, a Monumento Nacional (Spain's heritage designation in force until 1931) since 1931 and then in a ruinous state, for the symbolic price of six pesetas. The deal saved the building from disappearing.
