Description

The Palacio de la Mosquera, also known as the palace of the Infante Don Luis de Borbón, is a Neoclassical palace of the late 18th century, situated in the municipality of Arenas de San Pedro, province of Ávila, Spain. It was built by the Infante Don Luis Antonio de Borbón y Farnesio, sixth son of Philip V and brother of Charles III, who, banished from the Madrid court after contracting a morganatic marriage with María Teresa Vallabriga, moved his residence from the Palace of Boadilla del Monte in Madrid to the town of Arenas de San Pedro.
