In addition to the paintings of Albert, in the noble area of the palace, it is worth highlighting its spectacular Gothic hall, which would be part of an old house of the thirteenth century belonging to the feudal lord Conrad Llanca; and in the west, between the tower of the west and the middle tower, we find the International Puppet Museum and the Tourist Office.
