Here is a little history of Palacio de Las Dueñas in Andalusia, Southern Spain, and how it became part of the House of Alba. Originally, the palatial mansion was owned by the Pineda family. It was named after the 1248 monastery Santa Mará de Las Dueñas. The nuns living in this monastery served the queens of Castilla, St. Ferdinand, and Alfonso X, the Wise. Juan de Pineda was kept prisoner by the Moors. At this time, the Pineda family was struggling financially. They sold Palacio de Las Dueñas to Lady Catalina de Ribera in 1496. Her granddaughter married the 6th Duke of Alba. And so in 1612, the palace house became part of the House of Alba estate. Some interesting facts and things to see about Casa or Palacio de Las Dueñas include: - The saddle of Eugénie de Montijo, the Empress of France and wife of Napoleon III - It's the birthplace of the famous Spanish poet Antonio Machado - Eugénie de Montijo said: "The Spanish sun has never hurt my eyes".
