The Palace of the Cienfuegos, or of the Lords of Allande, or of the Counts of Marcel de Peñalba, is an abandoned noble palace, located in the Asturian council of Allande, Spain. It has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1994. On the basis of a primitive building from the 14th century, it was rebuilt around 1520 by Rodrigo González de Cienfuegos, lord of Allande, later undergoing various renovations so that only the lower part remains from the Gothic period . It was very reformed in the 18th century by Baltasar González de Cienfuegos, its owner, 5th Count of Marcel de Peñalba. Of marked defensive character, the palace has an L-shaped plan and is reinforced by three solid towers, which give it great monumentality. These towers, covered with four slopes, must have been crenellated in origin and toppled at the beginning of the Modern Age. The two oldest are square. The one at the end, with a rectangular floor plan, shows that it was enlarged in modern times to house the noble rooms. And in the 19th century a popular style gallery was added, a traditional element in Asturian houses. The sobriety of the lines of the complex and almost total de-ornamentation are barely attenuated in the rear patio, which preserves various decorative elements of a Renaissance character. This rectangular courtyard is surrounded at the height of the first floor by a continuous wooden gallery, which rests on thick and rough masonry columns. In recent years, partial arrangements have been made to prevent its collapse, having completed in 2008 the rehabilitation and recovery of the original shapes and colors of the gallery attached to the main tower, which dates from around 1888.
