Palacio De Viana Entradas

The primary entrance of the Palacio De Viana Entradas is the Receipt Courtyard, which was built to impress guests and display the enclosure's nobility and the residents of the home. It has a trapezoidal floor plan that fits the original site, encircled by a porticoed gallery with 16 Tuscan columns and two-storey buildings. A column that would have allowed the owners to park the carriages in the stables and display a portion of the palace to the public is missing from the entrance vertex. The Reception Courtyard had to continually be spotless and preserve its flowers and green mantle because it was an open entrance to a magnificent residence.

The Patio de los Gatos (Cats Yards) is the oldest known neighborhood Palacio De Viana Entradas in the city. It has medieval origins and a distinctly popular character, which is emphasized by its white walls covered in pots. This patio was originally a part of the alleged Casas de la Puentezuela de Tres Caos. The third owner of the palace, Gómez de Figueroa y Córdoba, purchased these cottages in 1545 in the name of his wife, maintained them apart from the main house and rented them out. The Patio de los Gatos, which got its name from the numerous cats that prowled there, attracted by the leftover food, became a service area in 1873 after the kitchens were erected in the adjacent room.

The Patio de Los Naranjos is adjacent to the promenade, and let your senses here be carried away by the fragrance of orange blossoms, the tinkling of the water, the darkness, and the beautiful plants. The Hispano-Muslim gardens, which were significant in the historical development of the Cordovan patio, are reminiscent of this area. Plants and water were intended to be the major components in these quiet, contemplative spaces. The employment of cutting-edge methods to acclimatize species, as is the case with the century-old orange trees in this courtyard, allowed the gardens in the Andalusian realm to serve both an aesthetic and an agricultural purpose.

The Patio de la Madama( Lady’s Patio) was constructed in the 18th century as part of renovations made to the palace by Ana Rafaela Fernández de Mesa and her husband, Fernando Cabrera Gómez de Cárdenas. They were the castle's twelfth owners. Its name alludes to the freshwater nymph known as the naiad of the central fountain in Greek mythology. The Romans utilized sculptures of deities extensively in their gardens; the Renaissance continued this practise, which was resurrected in the 18th century

The Patio de la Alberca, along with the Patio del Pozo and the Patio de los Jardineros, belonged to the house of the Torres Cabrera counts. In the 19th century, the house's twelfth owner, Diego Rafael Cabrera Fernández de Table, exchanged it for a farmhouse, at which point it was annexed to the Palacio de Viana. The pool and the greenhouse are the two structures that stand out in this area. When the monument was made accessible to the general public in the 1980s, the first was transferred from the adjacent Patio del Pozo to this patio in order to simplify visitor circulation. Currently, it still serves the same purpose passed down from the Muslims: solarize, aerate, and oxygenate the well water prior to hand-watering as it always has been done in Vienna for centuries.

The central feature of this courtyard is a straightforward well that pulls water from a subterranean stream. The black wrought iron finish and the enchinado pavement contrast with the curbstone's hexagonal shape, which is bleached and topped with a brick border. There are four water wheel buckets that were discovered inside the well on the well's mouth. When the palace was made available to the public, the pool in this area was relocated to a patio next door. The font that is fastened to the palace wall and has a gray marble mask that reads, "Source of Doa Leonor," one of the daughters of the second Marquis de Viana, is another water source.
