In the Plaza de los Bandos, very close to the Plaza Mayor, stands a 15th century Gothic mansion which belonged to Doña María de Monroy, dubbed la Brava because she was the heroine of one of the most tragic events in local history. After her two sons were killed by a rival gang she went after the murderers, not stopping until she had placed their heads on her sons' graves. On the façade, as is customary for Castilian noblemen's houses, there is a gate with a semi-circular arch with large keystones and a balcony with metal railings, which dates from the 18th century, flanked by the shields of noblemen. The house is not open to the public, as it belongs to the Official College of Pharmacists.
