—Grande Sunflower. We see many fields of sunflowers, most are brown with heads bent, seemingly ready for harvest. However, this field must have been on steroids. The heads were more than 12 inches in diameter.
Regarding Cogolludo, Spain, the square is dominated by this odd building at the lower end of the square (actually, a triangle-shaped plaza).
The commonly called Palace of the Dukes of Medinaceli (Spanish: Palacio de los Duques de Medinaceli) is a Renaissance palace located in Cogolludo, Spain.
One of the oldest titles of the House of Medinaceli is the marquisate of Cogolludo, traditionally borne to the heir to the Dukedom of Medinaceli itself. The palace of the marquises of Cogolludo is a gem of pure Spanish renaissance architecture, constructed between c. 1402 and 1502.
It is one of a number of monuments most closely associated with the Dukes of Medinaceli.
