Palacio de las Cadenas

Fodor's Review:

Vandelvira's 16th-century Palacio Juan Vázquez de Molina is better known by its nickname, the Palacio de las Cadenas (House of Chains), because decorative iron chains were once affixed to the columns of its main doorway. It's now the town hall and has entrances on both Plaza Vázquez de Molina and Plaza Ayuntamiento. Molina was a nephew of Francisco de los Cobos, and both served as secretaries to Emperor Carlos V and King Felipe II.
